    Step 3... decide on what colors you want in your quilt....
    Step 4... Accurately cut out your squares...
    Step 5... sew these squares together using 1/4 inch seam allowance.
    Step 6 ... post pictures to this board so we can ooo and ahhh over your beautiful creation.
    Hey I thought this was a 12 step program!
    It's 12 if you do all of them wrong the first time :)
