I'm giving you instructions for foundation piecing this block using a little trick I pull out of my magic bag from time to time. If you want to print a foundation pattern based on the finished block you'd either get an error message telling you it can't be foundation pieced or you'd have a jumble of weird sections. We're going to take a short-cut and make this really easy.

The center 4 Patch squares in each unit are a tiny (5/16"?) squares. The rest of the block is basically a traditional Square in a Square design. In order to foundation piece the units you need to get past that 4 Patch in the beginning.

Light bulb moment!

• Sew the 4 Patchs using slightly oversized squares.
• Press them nice and flat.
• Insert a pin right through the center of the 4 Patch and then through the center square on the foundation paper.
• Make sure you have the vertical and horizontal seam lines lined up, pin in place.
• You can now foundation piece the rest of the section
