** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** 

Start by cutting the Color 1  2-1/2" x 10" strip into four 2-1/2" squares...

 

 

Next cut the Color 2  1-1/2" x 10" strip into four 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" rectangles...

 

Sew the Color 1 and Color 3  1-1/2" x 22" strips right sides together along one long edge, using a scant 1/4" seam. Press to darker side. Cut apart at 5-1/2" intervals to make four pieced side units...

 

Now sew the Color 1 and Color 3  1-1/2" x 12" strips right sides together along one long edge, again using a scant 1/4" seam. Press to darker side. Cut apart at 1-1/2" intervals to make eight units. Sew these together as shown at lower left to make four Four Patch units...
 

 

Lay our the center units as shown at left and stitch together...
