Lay the four sections out and after yousew the white side to the printed side,you cut 1/2 inch off the top.You do this to each one before you sew all four of them together.Then after you get all 4 of them formed to make a block,you cut that block down to 8 1/4 inches. You sew the top two together and then the bottom two together and then you lay them face down on each other and sew straight across to join them together.Like a four patch.I just line them up and sew 1/4 inch seams even though they are crimped on the edges. I just set my pressure foot down and sew where the 1/4 inch seam is. Hope this helps. If not ask me again.
