1 ) Use a pencil to mark a diagonal line

on wrong side of each mottled white

dot 2" square. (To prevent fabric

from stretching as you draw lines,

place 220-grit sandpaper under

each square.)

2 ) Align a marked mottled white dot

dot 2× 31 ⁄ 2 " rectangle (Diagram 1;

note direction of marked line).

attached triangle. Add a second

marked mottled white dot square
