Appliquéing the Blocks
Step 1. Note: The tan background squares are cut oversized to allow for shrinkage during appliqué. Finger-press tan-on-tan print 26" square in half on both length and width, and in half diagonally twice; use folds as placement guide. Referring to Diagram I, position template fabrics in alphabetical order, keeping in mind that square will be trimmed to 24 1/2" x 24 1/2" (finished size is 24" square). Using appliqué method of choice (see Basic Quiltmaking Instructions), appliqué in place. Trim to 24 1/2" square. Make 4.
