CUT FABRICS

Cut pieces in the following order.

Because the blocks are foundation-pieced,

fabric pieces are cut larger than necessary. You’ll

trim them to the correct sizes after stitching them

to the foundation material.

From each pink print, gray print, yellow print, and

solid white 5" square, cut:

■ 4 triangles, cutting each square diagonally twice in

an X for 24 triangles total

PREPARE FOUNDATION PAPERS

Sheet 1.
