Directions:

Step 1

Grab a 10-inch square, then cut it in half diagonally, and set aside one triangle for piece A. Take the remaining triangle, then cut away from the longer side to make the other 2 sides 7 inches each, and this will the piece B. Cut the sashing pieces into 42 pieces at 2½ inches wide each, then sew it between pieces A and B, and make sure that the triangle pieces are centered by matching their midpoints together as shown in the video.
