OK...here are some picks...I laid out the unit..ready to sew the seam between #1 and #2....First I show you how the pattern is laying on the fabric strips so you will know where I fold it back in the next shots. I went over the lines of #2 with a Sharpie so you can see the edges. In the 2nd pic the folded over pattern fits nicely on the fabric strip with plenty of room around the paper pattern for trimming. In the final pic...you can see from the where the dark lines are falling on the folded over section #2 that this piece of fabric will NOT be large enough. Did I just confuse you more???
