For clarity in piecing it is very helpful to mark each fabric with a small paper square showing the number and “cut" letter. Mark the strip sets as well, leaving the top strip marked after cutting apart for proper placement in the blocks.

FABRIC 6The first cuts for the long border strips are made directly under the solid black line that is above the pumpkins with masks motifs. Make the second cut 5" from the first cut.

The first cuts for the short border strips are made 1/4" above the tiny checkerboard motifs running above the row of spaced single pumpkin motifs. Make the second cut 5" from the first cut.

FABRIC 1Carefully cut your favorite panel motifs 9-1/2" x 12-1/2". The cuts should be centered so there are basically equal amounts of the wide border on all four sides. This will not be exact due to the printed size of the motifs. It is an approximate amount.
