Directions:
Step 1
Cut the fabric pieces according to the pattern requirements, then organize and group them together, and label them accordingly so you don’t mix or confuse them. Take the square fabric pieces, then line the wrong side of the square diagonally from corner to corner, and lay 2 marked squares on opposite corners of the rectangle fabric with their right sides facing. Stitch right next to the line, then trim off the excess and press them open.
Step 2
Repeat the same process with the remaining fabric and piece them together according to the guide, then once done, assemble them together to form the block making sure that the units on each side mirrored each other nicely, and start sewing them together one at a time. Once done sewing the units, stitch them together, then add the border around your block, and you’re done!
