Starting at one end, pin one column of the quilt blocks right
sides together.
To begin, stitch all 12 blocks needed to create the carrier, then
arrange into two rows of six in the order that you would like.
Note: Pay attention to the orientation of each block, six blocks
on the left should face the opposite direction as the six blocks
on the right, as shown above.
C D
Sew the block on the pinned edge with a ” seam
allowance.
Next, press the seams open so they lay flat later.

The first end of your carrier is now attached. Repeat steps A-D
for the rest of the columns of quilt blocks.
Next, sew the rows together in the same manner as you did
in steps columns. As you are pinning the rows together,
match the seams of each quilt block to make sure they
line up perfectly.
