APPLIQUÉ PREPARATION AND CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS
See page 95 for general appliqué preparation instructions. Note: We recommend grouping all pieces cut for the tree blocks, house blocks, and star blocks into three separate stacks. This will assist when piecing.
From each of four tone-on-tone green prints for tree blocks, cut:
• 1 – 5" x WOF strip, then sub-cut into: 24 – 5" squares, cut once diagonally from corner to corner for 48 center triangles
• 3 – 2 ½" x WOF strips, then sub-cut them into: 144 – 2 ½" squares for outer frame. There will be leftover strip portions.
From brown solid for cross in tree blocks, cut:
• 4
