2 Measure along each side of the stitched square of fabric. A square that started out as 8in × 8in (20.3cm × 20.3cm) should now measure approximately 5¹⁄₄in (13.3cm) along each side. A square that started out as 6¹⁄₂in (16.5cm) should now measure approximately 4¹⁄₄in (10.8cm) along each side. If your squares are not this measurement, or are slightly different on each side, don’t worry. You just need to find the exact mid-point of each side and mark it lightly with a marking pencil as in Fig 17.

3 Join the marked points with a marking pencil, keeping the marking as light as possible, especially in the corners, where the marks may show slightly when the edges are rolled back and stitched later (Fig 18).

4 Mark every background square in the same way, keeping the pencil marks really light at all times.
