2. Pin and sew together with accurate ¼" seam allowances. Press seams in one direction. (It does not matter which direction, but be consistent. Press carefully to avoid distortion of shapes.)

Tip: Cut out one Total Arc Shape F from paper. Position pieced fabric arc on top of paper total arc. They should match; if not, adjust seam allowance.

1. Mark ¼" points on square B as shown.
   
   
    
2. Pin and sew one square B to each end of one combined arc unit. Start and stop stitching at ¼" markings. Press seams toward squares.
   
   
    
3. Mark ¼" points on shape C as shown.
   
   
    
4. Pin and sew one shape C to one combined arc unit matching ¼" points and notches, starting and stopping stitching at ¼" points. Press seams toward shape C.
   
   
    
5. Pin and sew one combined arc with corner squares to combined arc with shape C starting and stopping stitching at ¼" points of square B. Press seam toward shape C.
    
6. Make 12 combined units.
    
7. Mark ¼" points on tips of shape A.
    
8. Pin and sew one combined arc unit to one shape A matching notches and ¼" points. Start and stop stitching at ¼" points. Press seams toward shape A or in the direction that creates the least bulk at intersections.
    
9. Pin and sew another combined arc unit to another side of shape A. Start and stop stitching at ¼" points. Pin and sew edges of square B shapes together, raw edge to ¼" point.
