CUTTING DIRECTIONS-

Three (3) Template 2 from Fabric A,C,D,and E 
Twelve (12) Template 1 from Fabric F

Four (4) 1 1/2" squares from Fabric B and F
Four (4) 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" strip from Fabric F 

BLOCK INSTRUCTIONS- 

To cut your templates trace your templates to your fabric with a fabric marking pen and with scissors or a rotary cutter .
To make your corner units. Sew all your 1 1/2" squares from Fabric B to your squares from Farbic F.  Sew these units to a 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" strip from Fabric F.  

Now its time to sew your quarter circle units. Find the center of all your template pieces and iron a crease mark. Take your concave piece and place it right sides  together to 
 your convex piece, lining up the crease marks.  Pin in the center to hold and place. Pin both ends of your pieces together.  Use more pins if nessary to make sure the edges of your fabric 
stay  perfectly lined up.   

Instead of pins try using  1 /4" wash away wonder tape by Dritz sewing. 
 Slowy tape to the edges of your concave pieces and peel off paper backing. Line up your pieces at the center creases and slowy attach your pieces together. Some people sew on the 
convex side but I found it easier for me to sew on the concave side. To aid you your curve sewing try sewing slower then usual, making sure the needle down feature is actived on your 
machine, and try a longer stitch length then normal. Feed the fabric through making sure the fabric underneath is lying flat and not puckering. 

Continue this process with all your remaining template pieces. Sew to quarter circle blocks together.  Then sew a quarter circle block to a corner unit. Sew these two rows together to get 
block that looks like this  ! :)   Make sure seams are pressed in alternating directs so seams will nest into place. Create three more blocks with your remaing fabric pieces. 

Sew your four blocks together to create a four patch block and your Alice’s Tulips Block is complete!
