The National FFA® Organization is a youth leadership organization that makes a positive difference in the lives of young people by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agriculture education. The FFA® Motto is Learning to do, Doing to learn, Earning to live, Living to serve.

This quilt alternates 10″ squares of FFA® fabrics with scrappy 10″ four patch blocks made with coordinating Riley Blake Basics. I used 12 of the FFA® 10″ squares, and 13 of the four patch blocks.
DIARY OF A QUILTER has a fantastic tutorial showing how to make this Four Patch Quilt. There are just a few small differences:
- Amy uses 8 1/2″ blocks. I use 10″ blocks.
- I added a 5″ border.
- My finished throw size quilt measures approximately 60″ square.
This is a fantastic quilt for beginners to learn basic piecing skills.

To make this quilt even more teen-friendly, I backed it with our super soft Mint Minky fabric. The binding is our Mint Confetti Cotton.
