first seam on both sides takes the 5" down to 4.5" ... then you cut in half
turn the two pieces face to face, but a quarter turn, so that you are sewing across the previous seam ... cut apart - -at which point, both four patches are 4.5" square.
Then, when you stitch the four patch into a block or quilt, you take a quarter inch seam allowance all around and now the piece is 4" square - - I was wrong about the 4.5"
This is a GREAT technique. Thank you again for the tutorial! <wave>

That buttery yellow seems to really add some bright and richness to your quilt that plain old white just can't do, eh?
I am so glad that you posted your quilt picture. It makes the whole tutorial come to life, doesn't it? <wave>
