no need to blush. in the first step, the blue fabric is one long strip, and the red fabric is cut into squares. (i just had an AHAH!!! moment. you don't even need to cut the little red squares. sew the blue and red strips together down the length. press open. cut into the desired size. for example, if your strips are 2.5" wide, then cut the red/blue long strip every 2.5".) sew the red/blue patches to the long yellow strip, then trim to get the red/blue/yellow patch. sew that to the orange strip.
lather, rinse, repeat. :-)
