Preparation and cutting
From the mottled blue print fabric, cut:
• two squares, 32¼in. Cut each square once on the diagonal to yield four large half-square triangles (corner setting triangles)
• two strips, 2in x 44½in (first border). The blue print fabric that Vicki used was 45in wide, enabling her to cut strips 44½in long for the first border. If your fabric is only 42in wide, cut 2in
