Cut the Color 1 2-1/2" x 18" strip into four 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangles. Then cut the Color 1 5" x 20" strip into sixteen 2-1/2" squares. Next cut the Color 1 2-7/8" x 11-1/2" strip into four 2-7/8" squares. Stack the 2-7/8" squares and cut in half once on the diagonal to make eight Half Square Triangles... |
