Cutting it Out

Today I cut out all the square and rectangles from the seven different fabrics. For the large squares with the fairy fabric (LF) I made a template with a 7.5"x7.5" square cut out so I could see the area I wanted to include in the square before I cut it out. If I didn't do this I could end up with half a fairy in the square or one without a head, etc. In the photo I have cut out all the pieces and arranged them according to my design. This way I can see what it will look like and make any changes before I begin to sew. I'm pretty happy with it so I only changed one small square.

Next step is to begin sewing the pieces into four blocks.
