Step 2Decide on a layout for your quilt top
I used 4 squares each of 5 different fabrics to make up my 20 squares. You could use 20 different fabrics or make a checkerboard with 2 different fabrics. Regardless, you'll want to make a plan by laying out your squares and deciding how they will be arranged. For the quilt, make a rectangle that is 4 squares wide by 5 squares long.
If you can't decide on a layout, just start sewing and let fate be your guide.
If you want to do something a little more complicated, now is the time to decide. You could cut each square into half or into quarters or triangles. Note that the more pieces you cut each square into, the smaller your final quilt will be because each time you sew pieces back together you lose 1/4 inch in the seam allowance. See the end of this instructable for a few ideas for modification.
