D Place #3 fabric, right sides to unprinted side of foundation, along the printed seamline between #2 & #3, with approximately 1/4" of fabric extending behind and into the #3 position. Hold in place with fingers, turn foundation printed side up, and stitch along the line between #2 & #3. Trim seam allowance and press as before.

Continue adding pieces of fabric, following the number order, and always placing fabric strips with right sides to unprinted side of foundation. Remember that the bulk of the fabric being added will lie behind areas already covered. Only the fabric seam allowance will extend into the next numbered area.

E Upon reaching the perimeter of the foundation, it is especially important to have fabrics extend at least 1/4" beyond the edge of the foundation. Stitch all the way through the seam allowances.

After last piece has been added, press block from fabric side, flip over, and use a rotary cutter and ruler to trim fabric 1/4" away from the edge of the paper foundation.
