This is what I am working on right now. To make one block You start o ut with 4-5 inch prints, 8-2 1/2 inch white squares and 4-2 1/2 inch square s of yellow or color of your choice for the centers. Take a pencil/ruler a nd draw a line diagonally on all the 2 1/2 inch squares. Now take a 5 inch print square and one yellow square and pin it to one corner, I use mini pi ns with glass tops. Two pins to each square. Now rotate counter clockwise and add a white square, then rotate the same way again and add last white s q. When done you should have a "U" shape made with your pencil marks.(if n ot it is wrong) I start sewing on the beginning "U" white sq. when you get to the corner, one stitch off material, stop and raise presser foot(I have a 1/4 inch foot), pivot the material lining it up with pencil line and con tinue sewing that line. Stop when you get one stitch off material again an d raise pressure foot, pivot and sew the last line of the yellow square. A lways make sure all your square are lined up and does not go off the 5-inch print. Repeat this on all 4 prints. Now cut 1/4 inch from the pencil line "U"
3 outer corners only. Now press your quarter sections and sew together by putting all 4 yellow sections together making the daisy center. I always ma ke a sample to go by. I hope these instructions are not too confusing. You can always go to the web site:- posted
