Starting with A, place your first piece of fabric on number 1 right side up, on the reverse of the printed paper, covering the section marked 1.

When adding piecing 2, 3, 4, 5 ,6 these must be added with the fabric right side down and 1/4″ over lapping the next segment, so that when its sewn in place, it will be folded out and pressed on the seam and cover segment 2. Repeat this process till the block A is complete.
