Patchwork Easter Eggs: Cutting

Download the egg template here and print it.

Iron all your fabric. 

Cut out the template and trace it onto a piece of template plastic. Make sure that you mark the top of the template cut out the template from the plastic.

 
Place the template on the wrong side of one of the fabrics and trace it with a pencil. Repeat about six to eight times, depending on how much of the particular fabric you want in your eggs. Draw a little mark at the top of the shape, this will help you orient them later.

Do this to all your fabric. I cut six template shapes from each of the fabrics so I would have enough to play around with. (four template shapes will make one finished egg.)
