Step 2

The next step is to measure out and draw the squares on each of the fabrics. The first four floral prints we talked about in the previous step will be used to make up a four square block. Each of these small squares need to be 4 3/4 sq. inches, which when they are put together will make a larger square that is 9 1/2 sq. inches. The fifth print fabric will make up the larger solid squares, and must also be 9 1/2 sq. inches. I actually created a cardboard template to keep the squares more consistent and save time. The cardboard square is 4 3/4 sq. inches. It can also be used to measure out the larger squares by just tracing out four smaller squares on the fabric. Don't worry about lines; if you use a pencil, any mark you make will just wash off. If you're still worried, then trace your squares on the backs of the fabrics.
