I’ve finally finished these leader/ender blocks!
I’ve been asked to do a tutorial for these. They are very simple. For one 12 inch block, you will need 40 scrap squares cut at 2 inches, 8 background squares cut at 2 inches, and 4 background squares cut at 3 1/2 inches.
Make four 4 patches from scrap squares like this:
Make eight 4 patches from three scrappy squares and one background square. All four patches should measure 3 1/2 inches after being sewn.
Now lay out your four patches and solid squares like this:
Now sew the blocks into rows and sew the rows together. Once you have a bunch of blocks, it’s time to play!
I haven’t yet decided which layout I will use for my blocks. I might have to play some more. Have a great day!

Thank you! I’m saving this for future use!
Such a great quilt! It reminds me of quilts my granny made. Makes me want to cut a bundle of 30’s reproduction fabric I recently purchased for another project into small blocks. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the tutorial! I love your blocks and the green background. Hugs,
Can you make a guess as to how much background fabric you used? Thank you,Cindy

It’s beautiful. But you have a 4-patch turned wrong. Final photo, top row, second block, top right corner.
Thanks for the tutorial. I love little pieces and scrappy blocks. I’ll have to give this a try.
Thank you for showing what to do with an easy block using up our stash. You are the first blog I look at each morning. Want you to know how much I appreciate your blog.
