Lantern Path — cutting directions
Prepared with DolyaCut 1.0.0. Check every figure and test-cut before publishing.

Yardage assumes usable width (WOF) 40" for A, B, C, D; adds one extra strip of the widest cut to each fabric; backing adds no extra length; totals are rounded up to the nearest ⅛ yd. Joins: borders lose ½" per straight join, binding loses one strip width per diagonal join plus 12" extra, backing seams lose 1" per join.
