STEP FOUR: BUILDING CHAINS 4 - 8

The photo below shows how the various strips and background squares fit together for Chains 4 – 8. It is a useful strategy to place your quilt pieces onto a design wall or on the floor.

1. We’ll begin in the top left hand corner with Chain 4. It is identical in layout and construction to Chain 2.

2. Chains 5, 6 and 7 are identical. Refer to the photograph above. Note that they are constructed in such a way that only the side strips are attached to the central background square. The top and bottom strips will ‘float’ unattached at this point as they did in Chains 2 and 3.

3. Chain 8 is identical to Chain 3, with a complete chain being formed.

4. Construct the individual units as described and shown above.
