** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** 

Start this one by cutting the Color 1 3-7/8" x 23-1/4" strip into six 3-7/8" squares...
Then stack these squares and cut them once on the diagonal to make twelve half square triangles...

Cut the Color 2  3-7/8" x 15-1/2"  strip into four 3-7/8" squares...

.Stack and cut these on the diagonal to make eight half square triangles..

Repeat this process one more time with the Color 3  3-7/8" x 7-3/4" strip, making two 3-7/8" squares...

Stack and cut these on the diagonal into four half square triangles...

Lastly, mark and cut your Color 1 3-1/2" x 14" strip into four 3-1/2" squares...

Now place your Color 1 and Color 2 triangles right sides together, and sew using a 1/4" seam, pressing seam allowances towards the darker fabric. Make 8 of these units. This should measure 3-1/2"...
 

Make four Color 1/ Color 3 units using the same method...on to Page 2!
