From two dark 4-7/8" squares cut half square triangles. You need two different colored triangles of this size. From four dark 2-7/8" squares cut half square triangles. You need four different colored triangles of this size...( You'll save the other triangles cut for other blocks!) |

Now cut six light 2-1/2" squares. From eight light 2-7/8" squares cut half square triangles. You need eight different colored triangles of this size... |
|
|
Sew pairs of light and dark 2-7/8" half square triangles together in a scant 1/4" seam. Press seams to dark sides. Trim to measure 2-1/2" if needed. You need four of these half squares in total... |
