CUTTING

From panel fussy-cut:

12 (71/2) Q squares

Designer’s Tip

To easily fussy-cut book pages from panel, cut a 9½ square from sturdy paper or cardstock. Draw a 1 frame around the inside. Cut out the center area, leaving a 7½-square opening in the frame. Place the frame on the image you wish to cut. When you are satisfied with positioning, lightly mark the fabric around the inside of the frame. Cut on the marked line.

From white cut:

1 (51/2) E square

10 (51/4) C squares then cut twice diagonally (discard 2)

From light purple dot cut:
