Now all you have left to do to complete Step 2 is to sew each X block together. Again, just take up one block at a time, sew it and press it, and replace it where it goes in your layout. Sew the top two squares of the X block first, then the bottom two. Press the seams in opposite directions so they will ‘nest’ and sew the horizontal seam that joins top and bottom. You can ‘spin’ the seam allowance in the center intersection, or you may choose instead to press all those seams open. Then press your completed X block and admire your work. That’s it for step 2! See you next Friday for Step 3.

Here is one completed X block for my quilt:
