Sewing four strips for the strip mirage quilt

After you lined them up, mark a diagonal line from corner to corner.

After this, sew a 1/4 seam on both sides of the line, then cut it down.

That will give you two half-square triangles.

Putting the squares together to create the mirage quilt block

Now, take your first two, lay the right sides together, and sew them.

Repeat this with the other two.

Press both open, then sew these two halves together.
