Color 1: 1 1/8 yd

Color 4: 1 1/4yd
or if using  5th color use 7/8
and 5th color is
Color Z: 3/8 yd

Cutting 1
With color 4 or if using the 5th color Z use it. Cut 3 strips WOF (width of fabric) at 3" wide. Sub cut these strips into 40- 3" squares. Each strip should yield 14 squares, thus leaving 2 extra squares. Place the 2 extra squares in to a ziplock baggie marked extra. If using color Z cut the rest of the fabric into another 3" strip WOF, leaving a strip at 1½" *, Place both these strips into the baggie marked extra.

Take the bckgrd color and cut into 13- 3" strips WOF, thus leaving a strip at 1½" *. Take one 3" strip and the 1½" * and place in the baggie marked extra. Cut 3 of the strips into 40- 3" squares. Place the 2 extra squares with the other strips you have just cut  for a later use.

* If you do not have 1½" strip don't worry it is not critical. If you have 1" then save it and from now on when I say 1½" just use 1".
