** Preparing the
Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |

After printing off the paper
templates, cut out one of piece A and one of Piece B. Place these on
a larger piece of paper or your favorite template material. Add
1/4" to all sides of each. Now cut out these new larger pieces
and they will be your templates to cut your fabric pieces from. You
will need eight of each Color for Piece A cut from the 7" x
16" strips. You will need two of each
Color for piece B cut from the 7" x 14" strips. |
