Read through entire instructions before beginning.  Press all seams open as you go.

Use the STOP method to add the White (J) squares. Sew the White (F) rectangle to the Light Bow (E) square. Arrange the units and sew together.

Step 3: Use the STOP method to add the Dark Bow (K) rectangle on the White (K) rectangle, then add the other Dark Bow (K) rectangle to the other end. Use the STOP method to add the White (J) squares on each end.

Step 4: Use the STOP method to add the Dark Bow (C) square on the White (F) rectangle, then to add the Dark Bow (E) square to the other end. Make one facing left and one facing right. Sew the Dark Bow (F) rectangles on top of these units and then sew the White (L) rectangle between them.
