GEMMA

Gemma was made with only one block - the Shaded 4-Patch block, which is also

known as Birds in the Air, Hidden Square, and Mary’s Triangles. With 32 blocks

in one colorway, 32 in the reverse, you can create this interesting design.

No need to cut triangles! No need to piece triangles! The Shaded 4-Patch blocks

can be easily made oversized using strip piecing methods, and then trimmed down

using the Tucker Trimmer 1. Finished Size: 40” x 40”

Skill Level: Confident Beginner
