A1

1. With wrong sides together and right side facing out, fold each yellow rectangle from envelope A1 lengthwise together.

2. Press the fold.

1. With right sides together, fold the 8 squares from envelope A2. Bring the two opposites corner to meet, making it look like a triangle.
   Press the diagonal fold.

2. Use the yellow pieces from envelope A1 and sew them into the fold of the blue triangles:
   Open up the blue square.
   Place the folded yellow rectangle onto the fold of the blue square, the raw edges in the fold.
   Close the square to a triangle again. 

3. Using the fold as a raw edge, sew ¼'' from the edge, closing in the raw edges of the yellow rectangle.

4. Open up and press the square. Try to press the yellow 'line' onto the diagonal and not more to one side than the other.

5. With the yellow 'line' going from left lower corner to right upper corner, sew a 1''x 3'' rectangle of same color onto the left side of the square.
   Still with the 'line' going from left lower corner to right upper corner, sew a 1''x 6'' rectangle of same color onto the lower side of the square.
   Square up the block to 3''x 3''.

6. Sew 7 blocks more; 8 blocks altogether.

1. Use 3'' squares from envelope B and the 8 blocks from A2.
   Look at the picture and place the blocks and squares as shown.
   The yellow 'line' is here pointing up into the left upper corner.
2. Sew this block together by starting to sew two and two squares together, making 16 blocks of 3''x 5 ½''.
3. Make 8 four-patches as shown. Put them back into the envelope marked B.
