Press. Repeat with remaining gingham 5” strips and clean white solid 5” strips. Cut the strips into 5” segments. Sew the segments together to create the following number of Four-Patch Backgrounds: 5–aqua, 5–navy, 5–green, 5–gray, 6–yellow, 6–orange, 5–red, 5–lavender

Refer to the quilt photo for fabric placement. Sew a gingham 3½” strip and a clean white solid 3½” strip together. Press. Repeat with remaining gingham 3½” strips and clean white solid 3½” strips.

On the back side of the small Four-Patch Unit line up the circle ruler on the seams and trace a line around the edge with a pencil. Place the Four-Patch Unit right side down on top of the interfacing. Stitch around the circle on the line. Trim seam allowance. Cut a small slit in the interfacing and turn right side out. Smooth out the edges and press to create the Four-Patch Circle. Center the Four-Patch Circle on a Four-Patch Background and appliqué using your favorite method. Repeat to make 42 Gingham Blocks.
