Step 3 - From Prima Homespun cut 5 x 8½" strips crosscut into 25 x 8½" squares.
Step 4 - From Fabric S cut 6 x 2½" strips for binding.
BAUBLES
Step 5 - Using the 6¼" circle template trace 25 circles onto the paper side of the Legacy Fuse-Under Fusible Web. Cut out the circles leaving a ¾" border around the edge of each. Cut 25 rectangles 2½" x 1½" from fusible web.
Step 6 - Fuse one circle to the wrong side of each 7" square. Allow to cool then cut out each circle along the line. Remove the paper backing from the circles.
Step 7 - Fuse the 25 rectangles of fusible web to the wrong side of assorted Xmas Metallics and cut out. Remove the paper backing from the rectangles.
