1) take one dark sq. and one lt. sq, right sides tog, take a felt tip pen and draw a line corner to corner.
2) repeat step 1 (I do 2 at once that produces 4 blocks)
3) now you have 2 bl. to chain sew tog down one side (1/4" away) and come back up the other side.
4) Cut both bl. apart on the felt tip line.
5) Lay one HST on top of the other HST and draw a line corner to corner. Make sure opposites are lined up right.
6) Finger feel your seams and chain sew tog down one side of drawn line and up the other.
7) Cut both bl. on the felt tip line.
8) You now have 4 identical QST's!
Have fun with this scrappy method.
