Cut out 380 red and 379 white pieces A and

24 red and 22 white pieces B.

Offset red and white blocks in a brick pattern. Stitch rows together and press seam

allowances to one side.

SEWING: Sew together the rows in order one at a time working side to side, omitting therow that goes around the perimeter (the border). Sew each row together and finish by sewing

on the border.

To stitch by hand, place two fabric pieces right

sides together and sew the seam from one

edge to the other. Begin by tying a knot in the

end of the thread and make a single back-

stitch. Sew across the seam line in a running

stitch (see photo at right of sewn seam). Fin-

ish with a single backstitch and cut the thread

(no need for a knot).

Press all the seam allowances toward the red side.

Sew together the 16 pieces of the first row.
