Now cut the Color 3  1-1/2" x 14" strip into four 1-1/2" 3-1/2" rectangles. Cut the Color 3  1-1/2" x 10" strip into four 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" rectangles. Cut the Color 3  5-1/2" x 11" strip into two 5-1/2" squares...

Using 1/4" seams now and throughout the block making, sew two "X" units as shown at left, one using Color 1 and one using Color 2...

Now piece the block as shown at left, and it's done! Good job!
