I thought i'd write down some notes on how i had cut the pieces for this bom. Maybe it will help others in making it easier to follow.
1). print out the templates and measure that they are the right size, the center square should measure 2 5/8 sq. in. the longer template should measure 2 5/8 wide, and 5 3/8 from flat end to pointed end.
2). In color 5 where it says, 4"x16" strip, i just cut 2" strips and cut into 2" squares, to get the 16 needed.
3). Where it says to cut color 5, 2 3/8 x 9 1/2 strip into four 2 3/8 squares. I didn't cut those in half as it says. i thought it would be easier to just place the colored 2 3/8 squares right sides together to the color 5 2 3/8, draw a line in center of colored fabrics of 1, 2, 3, and 4. then sew on both sides of line 1/4 inch, then cut apart. Then you have your combos of each color ( on bottom of page 1) and they will measure 2".
4). with the templates (the long one with the pointy end) cut the strip then i put the template over it to draw the pointy end, then cut it. This seemed to help me with getting as close as i can. I also folded this strip or finger press it to get the center before i connected the 1/2 triangle to the flat side. As far as the rest of the instructions i just followed as it said. I hope this makes sense when you read this, and hope it helps with the cutting instructions. :P Happy sewing everyone.
