Next sew your remaining squares to the end of your pairs,so that you end up with three strips, two strips with a dark square on each end and one strip with a light square on each end (pic 10) Press

Join a pair of strips together, butting the seams at the join (Pic 11) one of the reasons I like to press seams to one side in this type of block is because it gives an easy way to match the seams at a join.

Hold the butted seam together with your forefinger while feeding you pieces through Machine (Pic 12)
