11 Take the top two rows of the design and place them together with the unmarked sides facing and the marked stitching lines positioned on top of each other as before. Match the mid-point marks exactly and pin either side as in Fig 25. Add more pins to fix the two marked lines exactly on top of each other and stitch as before, stitching across the matched mid-point marks from one end of the pinned squares to the other. Start and finish ¹⁄₄in (6mm) from the ends as in step 8. If the stitching does not always run exactly through the drawn lines on both sides of the work, don’t worry – all that matters is that it is a perfect match at the junctions where the mid-point markings lie.

Once done, the corners of the blocks can be pressed to the centre and stitched into place, following steps 1–5 in Stitching the Folded Square on page 19. Now move on to Adding the Windows, below.
