Rotate the top shirt a quarter turn to the left or right and put it back on top of the bottom layer. I watched several youtube videos to learn how to make them and it consists of black, gray or brown strips of fabric, ranging from 1″ to 3″ wide, sewn to two sides of the block. I used an iron to press the batting completely flat and smooth.
