Assembly Instructions

Notes Before You Begin

- Please read through all of the instructions before beginning.- All of the seam allowances are 1/4” unless otherwise noted. ��:LGWK�RI�IDEULF��:2)��LV�HTXDO�WR�DW�OHDVW���µ�ZLGH�- Press all seam allowances open after each seam is sewn, unless otherwise noted.- Remember to measure twice and cut once!

Printing the Templates:- Print forty-nine copies of Template 1 on page 9 at 100%.

Step 1: Make the Large Economy Blocks

- Sew a Fabric R 7” triangle to the top of a Fabric B square.

- Sew a Fabric S 7” triangle to the bottom of the Fabric B Square.

- Sew a Fabric R 7” triangle to the left side of the Fabric B square.

- Sew a Fabric S 7” triangle to the right side of the Fabric B square.

- Trim edges so you have 1/4” of seam allowance past each Fabric B corner. Block will measure 7-1/2” x 7-1/2”.
