2. Use a pencil or white dress maker’s pencil to mark a diagonal line on wrong side of each dark print 3-1⁄2" and 2-1⁄2" square.
3. Align a marked dark print 3-1⁄2" square with one end of a light print 3-1⁄2x5-1⁄2" rectangle (Diagram 1; note direction of marked line). Sew on drawn line. Trim excess, leaving 1⁄4" seam allowance. Press open attached triangle.
