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 light pieces on top,

a blue piece in the middle, and a light piece on the bottom.

Position the blue piece over the bottom light fabric piece right sides together.

Pin and sew.

Press your seam open.

Place the light piece over the unit right sides together.

Pin, sew and press.

Position and sew second light piece as shown above.

Sew and press.
