Cut on the drawn line and press the seams toward the A triangle. Trim the A/B units to measure 2" square. Repeat with the remaining A and B squares for a total of (8) A/B units.
2. Sew 2 A/B units and 2 C
pieces into a row, and then sew onto the top edge of a D piece; press seams toward D. Repeat for a total of (4)
gift units.
3. Sew a gift unit to the
left and right edges of an F strip; repeat. Sew an F strip to the
left and right edges of an E square. Sew the units together to
make the Hearty Gift block; square the block to measure 12 1/2" square.
