Welcome back to our Mystery Quilt 2021! We are off to such a good start, since you are now comfortable in making four-patches, I think you are ready for a double four-patch!

Our second blocks will be positioned as shown above in our Mystery Quilt 2021! Notice the position of the blue fabric in the corners.
Please DO NOT start sewing blocks together at this time. We need to complete all blocks before sewing them into a quilt top. We are only laying them out on our design wall at this point.
