** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block **  

Now we'll cut the squares and triangles that will be half squares. Cut the Color 3  5-3/4" x 34-1/2" strip into 24  2-7/8" squares and cut them again diagonally to make forty-eight triangles. Cut the Color 1 and Color 2  2-7/8" x 34-1/2" strip into 12  2-7/8" squares each, and cut those diagonally also, to make 24 triangles of each...now...

Sew a Color 4  2-1/2" square to a color 3  2-1/2" square, using a 1/4" seam. Press seam towards darker fabric. Add another Color 3  2-1/2" square. Make two of these units. Then make two units from Color 4/ Color3/ Color4/ Color3/Color4  2-1/2" squares... same 1/4" seams...

Sew the two three piece strips from the step we just completed to the top and bottom of one 6-1/2" square, pressing seams towards center square. Sew the two five piece strips to the two sides, pressing seams towards strips...on to Page 2!
