Right - sew 5" blocks together - what you want to make determines number of rows across & down.
wreath was a 5x5 grid with a 3" border to begin with - then begin cutting as directions that came with template show (first cut will be into borders) Then arrange new squares into wreath shape.
note whatever you have for outside & middle blocks will be inside/outside of wreath
runner was a grid of 2x7 (I think) with a 3" border
Have I confused you more?
