Next mark and cut the Color 2 3-7/8" x 7-3/4" strip into two 3-7/8" squares. Stack and cut these once on the diagonal to make four half square triangles... |

Now mark and cut the Color 2 3-1/2" x 14" strip into four 3-1/2" squares for the blocks corners. Also cut one Color 2 7-1/4" square (not shown)... |

Then cut the Color 1 and Color 2 4-1/4" squares on both diagonals to make four quarter square triangles of each... |

Sew pairs of quarter square triangles together, right sides together, using a SCANT 1/4" seam. Press seam allowances towards the darker fabric. To each of these units, sew a Color 2 half square triangle, again using a 1/4" seam. Press seam towards the half square triangle... on to Page 2! |
