Start by sewing two Color 3 2-1/2" x 5" strips, two Color 2 2-1/2" x 5" strips, and the Color 4 5" x 6-1/2" strip into the unit shown at left. Use all SCANT 1/4" seams. Now cut the unit at the 2-1/2" point to make two pieced strips... |

|
|
Now sew three Color 1 2-1/2" x 5" strips and two Color 3 2-1/2" x 5" strips to make the next unit, again cutting this in two at the 2-1/2" point to make two more pieced strips... |
