Welcome to Week 4 in Oda May's School of Sewing! Just one block type this week, but we have 12 to make so let’s get started.
Some notes:
- Use a scant ¼" seam.
- Depending on your cutting method, you may have extras each week of common sizes used throughout the quilt. I suggest you label a couple of plastic bags for "2 1/2" squares" and "2⅞" squares" so you can make use of the extras another week.
