Next, use Color 3 and Color 4 half square triangles to make eight of the Half Square units shown at left. Again, 1/4" seam allowances should be used, and press seams to the darker sides. These should each measure 2-1/2". Trim if needed.  Now repeat this with Color 2 and Color 4 half square triangles to make eight Half Squares in that color arrangement...

 

Then sew four of each of the two units shown at left. The top unit uses one Color 2/Color 4 Half Square, one Color 3/Color 4 Half Square and a Color 3 square. These should measure 2-1/2" x 6-1/2"... 

The second unit uses one Color 3/Color 4 Half Square, and one Color 2/Color 4 Half Square. These should measure 2-1/2" x 4-1/2"...

To make the Corner units sew one of the shorter units we just made to the top of each Four Patch unit, pressing seam towards the Four Patch. Add a longer unit to the left side of those Four Patch units, pressing seam towards the longer strips. These units should now measure 6-1/2" square...

 

Now lay out all units as shown at left. Sew three horizontal rows, pressing seams in alternating directions by row. Join the rows to complete your block!  ...on to Page 3!
