Step 1: Supplies

Favorite Rotary cutter

I started with 3 contrasting colors of fabric  ½ yds each.
( There will be extra fabric left after cutting the pattern out.)

 

Step 2: Cutting 1

The measurements I am giving are for the 7" Drunken Path Template.

Iron and square your fabric.
Cut a 7½" strip from the selvage to the selvage cut 1 strip of each color which make 3 (strips 7½"X44")
 

Step 3: Cutting 2

Take the 7"X44" pink strip and cut into 6"X7½" rectangles.
(you will make 4 of these)
