3. Zigzag around the circle to appliqué it to the square. 4. Pair up the following color/shape combinations:

Template A fabric / Template B fabric(4) sets each:G/A J/B H/BJ/DH/DG/J

(8) sets each:D/LF/EH/EF/J

(12) sets each: K/EH/L

(16) sets each:I/C

5. Finger-press all the Template A and B shapes in half to crease-mark the center. Place A on top of B matching the centers. Pin in place at the mid-point (Fig. 4) and at the bottom end of the unit. Starting at the mid-point, slowly stitch from the center along the curve to the end, gently aligning the two fabric edges to meet as they approach the presser foot. Stitch from the center out to the end without removing the pins (Fig. 5). Backstitch to secure. Pin the top edges even and in the same manner, stitch again from the top to the mid-point. Trim the block to 91⁄2” x 91⁄2” (24.13cm x 24.13cm) (Fig. 6). Do not press the seam yet.
