bottom, Row 14 at top and stripes running horizontally. Rotate second square 90 degrees clockwise so
that Row 1 is at left and Row 14 is at right and stripes are running vertically. Continue laying out
10 squares, alternating direction of stripes. With C sew squares together.
Strip #2 (make 5): Lay out another strip of 10 squares beginning with the stripes of the
first square running vertically and alternating horizontal and vertical stripes as in Strip #1. With
C sew squares together.
Lay out 10 strips, alternating strip #1 and strip #2. Sew strips together to make Afghan 10
squares wide by 10 squares long.
