Balkan Puzzle - a Four Patch



This block is made entirely from half square triangle units and as such is a beginner/intermediate block rather than an absolute beginner block because of all the bias seams.  Since these stretch I like to square the blocks as I go.  It is also an ideal candidate for the "Easy Eight" method of half square triangle making since it can use eight of each colour combination to construct the block.
The blocks shine best when set edge to edge to allow the secondary triangle pattern to form.
