Preparation Instructions

• When cutting material for the square, cut 12.5" by 12.5", so that each quilt square will be 12" by 12" when finished. To ensure that all pieces fit together properly, make sure that finished squares measures exactly 1-foot square.
• Use 100 percent cotton sheet backing and an inner layer of muslin interfacing or a thin layer of batting. This step is important since the quilt will be a wall hanging.
• Use light colored materials on the backside of each square.
• Attach a ribbon (1" wide, 12" long) on each corner of the quilting square (block). These ribbons are how the squares are tied together. Every square MUST have corner ties!
• Individual quilt squares may be decorated with fabrics and materials; paints; buttons; bows; ribbons; shells; or photo transfers of family pictures. Sign each quilt square on the back side with a permanent marking pen. 
• These instructions must be carefully followed; otherwise, the quilting block will not be accepted for the quilt.
