I know I will never get to that level of skill but I will be able to enjoy the beauty through others' creations. This is stunning. Very very beautiful.

I cut 5 inch squares of lightweight fusible interfacing, put a piece of light & dark fabric right sides together & sewed them directly to the sticky side of the interfacing from corner to corner. The seam allowance is anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2, it doesn't matter. Then press the fabrics to the interfacing & trim with a 4 1/2 inch square ruler.
