10 minute block
#31
I stopped in my LQS today, and they had one of these quilts on display. They did not topstitch the center square (or quilt through it), so it was very 3 dimensional. I can't imagine the quilt would wash well like this. I myself would definitely top stitch it.

There are a number of blocks like this - faux cathedral window being one, and Ricky Tims' video of one seam flying geese is another. The links are below:

4 of your squares need to be the same size.
The 5th square can be:
the same size, which will make a "diamond" shape in the center that extends exactly halfway up each inner seam of the finished 4-patch block;
a bit smaller, which will make a smaller "diamond" shape in the center of the finished 4-patch block;
or a bit larger, which will make a larger "diamond" shape in the center of the finished 4-patch block.
Try all three and see which you like.
