Cutting out

1 For the centre blocks, if using one (1) fabric, cut four (4) 16½in x 16½in squares. However, Irene chose to create scrappy blocks for the appliqué (see Figs 1A-1D). Assemble each block by sewing A to B and C to D, then join both these units together. The sizes she used are as follows:

■ Cut the following for Block 1: – One (1) 5½in x 11in piece (A). – One (1) 11½in x 11in piece (B). – One (1) 12in x 6in piece (C). – One (1) 5in x 6in piece (D).
