Preparation: Crazy Patchwork
Cut a 5-sided shape from one patchwork strip. Place right side up
in center of muslin square. Select another patchwork strip; place
right sides together with center patch, matching one raw edge. Stitch,
stopping at the end of the first patch. Flip open; press.
Select a second patchwork strip. Place along the next edge of the
center patch, over the previously stitched strip. Seam; flip; press.
Trim excess fabric from underneath the strip.
Continue adding strips in this manner, working in a circular direction
around the center patch, until the entire base fabric is covered.
Straight stitch close to the outer edges of the muslin base fabric;
trim excess fabric from around the edges of the square.
