3. Make 8 strip sets with fabrics A-D-E. Stitch A to D, then press seams toward D. Stitch fabric E to D, pressing seams toward E. Cross-cut strip sets into sixty-one 5" x 5" segments.

7. Cut 1 strip AT 29 Ocean into 4 segments. Stitch one segment to each of the other 4 strips. Trim strips to 50". The symmetry of this design makes it easy to match the design when stitching the strips together. There is enough length to play with the alignment.
