Step 4... Accurately cut out your squares...
Step 5... sew these squares together using 1/4 inch seam allowance.
Step 6 ... post pictures to this board so we can ooo and ahhh over your beautiful creation.
Hey I thought this was a 12 step program!
It's 12 if you do all of them wrong the first time :)
