Someone posted to this thread that they would like a tutorial in English. I thought I would give it a try.
When I stacked them, I placed them on my cutting board and used the lines to place them at 1/2" intervals.
I tried to place the top fold of the stack as close to the center of the background as possible.
Thanks QuiltnNan for the tip.

Start with 6" squares. Need 8 each of 7 fabrics

Fold in 1/2 and press

Fold again and press

Open out and stack with others, with folds at top

cut a 15.5" background and fold 4 times

line up center fold along fold in background

Stitch starting from outside to center & backstich at center. Fold right center over.

Add next stack and sew like before.

How do you finish it? Do you just stitch around the edge? It still wouldn't look totally finished then, I don't think. Does the background fabric lay flat in the end? This is really pretty. Thanks for the tutorial!
