Step 1

Grab one fabric A, one fabric C, and two fabric Bs, and assemble them into a block (see the picture below for the placement.) Sew these together with a 1/4″ seam and press according to the pattern. Make 16 pieces of these blocks. (When picking your fabrics, go with big busy prints for fabric A, less busy prints for fabric C, and medium prints for fabric B to get the full effect.)
