2. Under Quilt construction
   1. From EACH of the 3 darks, cut 4 - 3 ½" strips; from these strips, cut 36 (NOT 43) - 3 ½" squares per fabric.
3. Replace for following:
   For the light blue/red, cut 16 freezer paper templates. Iron onto wrong side of light blue/red and cut 1/8" past the edges. Then cut 4 quarter circles apart on the straight lines.

Appliqué light blue/red pieces for primary background squares using your favorite method of appliqué.
