Plan!
Nothing could be simpler (or more classic) than blue
and cream. Choose two values of blue prints and coordinate with a border
stripe for simple elegance. Foundation piecing helps you achieve pointed
perfection!

Note: 
Download
foundation master. It is printed reversed and is meant to be traced
or photocopied. First, make 5 copies of foundation master on regular
paper to create your color guides. Refer to Color
Guides below and label each number with the color of fabric (dark
blue, medium blue or cream).
Now, make 4 A copies, 16 B copies, 4 C copies, 4 D copies
and 4 E copies on foundation paper of your choice. Cut out each foundation
along outside line. Do not leave any extra paper beyond the printed
lines. All paper gets pulled away eventually, and having paper hidden
in the seam allowance is just added work.
