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!
12 step if you want to admit you have an adiction and want to quit. This is not a bad habit so we have never come up with the 12 steps.
