Eilene Johnson on Instagram: "Ever wonder how to sew a square in a square block? I’m showing 2 techniques!
Here are some tips:

- I used a 2 1/2” acrylic square template and fussy cut a strawberry in the middle.
- cut a background square at 5 1/2” (you can do any size center square-just add 3” to the size of the center square to get the measurement for the background square)
- lay the center square onto the background square in the middle, with the background square on the diagonal.
- use a piece of cardstock to use as a guide to fold over sides and press. Use a 1/4” seam to sew around all 4 sides.

- for the outside square, cut 2 squares of fabric 1 1/2” larger than your finished block Four Patch In A Square Quilt Block, Sewing Squares Together, Quilt Squares Ideas Simple, How To Square Up Fabric, Square In A Square Quilt Block Tutorials, Fabric Squares Projects, Square In A Square Quilt Block, Quilt Squares Ideas, Square In A Square Quilt
