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,

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

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

Pin and sew.
