Read through entire instructions before beginning.

STOP: Stitch, Trim, Open & Press. The STOP method is the mainstay for the
making of the blocks used in every project found in this pattern. To perform the
STOP method, align a square (A) or rectangle (C) on the corner of the unit (B)
with right sides facing together. Draw a diagonal line and then sew along this
diagonal line. Trim a seam. Finger press the seam open and then press with a
hot iron. Pressing the seams open to reduce bulk is recommended.
