BLOCKING TIP: In order to make blocking easier, cut out a 5” square piece of cardboard from a gift box, etc. and block each square to this template. Even when the pattern is followed, some squares may seem larger due to the thick/thin quality of ‘Amazing.’ For best results, squares need to be blocked to 5” square before seaming.
