Next, sew the rows together to finish the block center. Press the seam allowances away from the center row. Make 1. (This unit should measure 12-1/2" x 12-1/2".)
Step 10: Sew a Step 1 unit to each short end of a Color E (lt. brown) 2-1/2" x 12-1/2" strip. Press the seam allowances away from the Step 1 units. Make 2. (This unit will measure 2-1/2" x 16-1/2".)
