To piece unit 1 you will want to have 4 pieces of fabric A cut in a 2 x 6 rectangle and fabric B cut in 2 x 3 1/2 rectangle. Take your first piece of fabric A and put it right side out on the underside of your paper where area 1a is. You want to make sure that it covers the area completely. You can check this by holding the paper up to a window or lighted area to see thru the paper.
Here I have my fabric laying behind the area I will piece it to. You can see there is extra on all 4 sides on area 1

Now I have my second fabric lined up with where I want to sew it and I am checking it by using the light from the window. My 2 fabrics are right sides together at this point.
