...And then cut the Color 2   2" x 14" strip into four 2" x 3-1/2" rectangles...

Finally, cut the Color 1   2" x 16" strip into eight 2" squares...

Sew the single 2" Color 2 and Color 3 squares together as shown to make the center four patch unit, using scant 1/4" seams. Alternate pressing direction of seams...

Then stack the single Color 4 and Color 3   4-1/4" squares, edges aligned, right sides together. Mark the diagonal, and then sew 1/4" away from the marked line, on both sides of it, then cut it apart on the marked line. Using a ruler, mark and cut the resultant triangles on the other diagonal. This will give you four quarter square-triangles. Repeat this with the other two Color 4 and Color 3  4-1/4" squares. You will only need two from each set.. Save the others for another project though! The other two will be heading in the wrong direction to use in this block!...

Sew each of the previous units to a Color 2 half square triangle, using the same scant 1/4" seam, and pressing seam allowances towards large triangle...

Then, place a Color 1  2" square atop one end of a Color 2   2" x 3-1/2" rectangle, right sides together. Mark the diagonal, then sew on that marked line. Cut off excess seam allowance, and press the remainder towards center. Repeat with another 2" Color 1 square on the other end. Make four of these units...

Now sew each of the unit you just made to the bottom of a Color2/3/4 unit, as shown. Press seam allowances towards top units. Make four of these...
