1. Arrange the 8 strips in a pleasing combination.

2. Sew them together with a 1/4” seam allowance.

3. Press all the seams to the side in the same direction. This is important.

4. Lay the pieced strip right sides together with the backing strip. FYI… I don’t really cut my backing strip until my front is done, then I lay the front on top of the backing fabric and cut around.

5. Stitch around the rectangle with a 1/4” seam allowance, leaving a 4” opening on one short end. Stitch again a second time to reinforce the seam.

Wrap up and gift!
