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.
