Cut along the line, then press open and trim to measure 5" square.

Repeat with the remaining 5 7/8" squares to make a total of 12 HSTs.

Step 2. Make the center of the block. Referring to the next few photos, sew together the 16 - 2 3/4" squares.

Step 3. Referring to the next 4 photos, sew together the previously constructed pieces to assemble the block.
