Is this pattern good for beginners?
Yes! Fast Four Patch is a fast, beginner-friendly pattern with step-by-step cutting and piecing diagrams.

Can I use precut 5" squares?
Yes. For the crib size you can use a couple of packages of 5" precut squares in place of the 1/8 yards for the four-patch blocks.

What's the difference between the King and Alternate King?
Both finish at 120" x 120". The Alternate King adds an outside border, so it uses less feature fabric and smaller cuts for the four patches, plus 2 3/4 yards of border fabric.
