First cut six quarter square triangles using the template, from a
Color 1 3-3/4" x 7-1/2" strip, using the template
provided. Next, also using a template, cut ten squares from the Color

Using the template provided cut five large squares from the Color 2
3-1/2" x 17-1/2" strip.
Then cut the Color 2 2-7/8" x 5-3/4" strip into two
2-7/8" squares. Stack these and cut them once on the diagonal to
make four half square triangles for the block's corners- or use the
template if you prefer. Cut six
quarter square triangles using the template, from a Color 2
3-3/4" x 7-1/2" strip. Again using the template, cut ten
squares from the Color 2 4-1/2" x 10-1/2" strip...
