Edyta's Tip: Keep your ruler or templates handy after cutting.

They are the perfect tool to help you precisely mark your sewing points.

First mark your 1/4" sewing points then arrange your pieces with two matching light pieces on the top

and the blue diamond piece on the bottom as shown above.

Position the light piece over the blue diamond piece right sides together.

Pin and sew.

Press your seam open.

Place the remaining light piece over the unit right sides together.

Pin, sew, and press the seam.

Use your template A or ruler to trim.
