Cut Fabrics
Cut pieces in the order that follows.
To help keep fabrics stable, consider spraying them with starch and pressing before cutting out pieces.
To cut the blue star print diamonds, trim the right-hand edge of a 2-1/2"-wide strip at a 45˚ angle. Rotate the strip 180˚. Cutting parallel to trimmed left-hand edge, cut strip into eight 2-1/2"-wide sections to make diamonds (Diagram 1). Repeat with remaining blue star print strips.
