  Stepping Stones There's another name for this block, Frayed Four Patch, which I kind of like too. Stepping Stones is a very simple block, but what really makes this block work nicely into a quilt is contrast. So, you will need a very dark color, and a very light complimenting color, as well as a white or white-on-white background. For the stepping stones block you will need a dark and a light of a complimenting color, and your guild background- From the dark cut four 3 1/2 inch squares From the light cut four 3 1/2 inch squares From your background cut four 6 1/2 by 3 1/2 inch rectangles |
|
|
First sew a background rectangle between a dark and a light square. Make two of these. |
| Now make a four patch using two light squares and two dark squares |
|
|
Then add the remaining background rectangles to either side of the four patch. |
| Assemble as shown in the diagram, and your stepping stone block is complete. It should measure 12 1/2 inches exactly. |  |
