1. 1

   Cutting Instructions

   From each fat quarter cut 4 x  8.5” squares.  This will give you 40 patterned squares.

   Cut 10 8.5” strips of fabric from the background fabric and subcut each of those strips into 4 8.5” squares.  This will give you 40 background squares.

   Assembly Instructions

   Draw a centre diagonal line on each background square.  This will become your cut line.

   Draw a dashed line one quarter inch away from your cut line on either side of it.  These two lines will become your sewing lines.

   With right sides together place marked background square on top of print fabric square.

   Sew along each marked sewing line.

   Press the triangles with the seams going towards the patterned fabric.
