Sparkling Jewels 4 Fabric Cutting Suggestions A1 For clarity in piecing it is very helpful to mark each fabric with a small paper square showing the number and “cut” letter. DON'T CUT FULL LENGTH STRIPS UNTIL LOOKING AT THE DIAGRAMS BELOW CAREFULLY. Some of the cuts are above the bulk of the pieces cut. Fabrics 1-4 Fabric 5 Fabrics 6 & 9 Fabrics 7 & 10

*The marked grid on some of the A rectangles is actually 6-1/4" wide. If you are H using an 1/4 yard cut it will fit comfortably centered on the 8-1/2" wide A pieces with a buffer on all sides. A A B B D Selvage Selvage Selvage Selvage Selvage Fabrics 8, 11, 14 & 15 Fabrics 17 & 18
