** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** 

Cut the Color 2  6-7/8" square in half once on the diagonal to make two Half Square Triangles...

Next, use the template provided above to cut two Color 3 trapezoids from the 4" x 11" strip-there's one template-just rotate it to get two shapes from the one strip...

Now cut the Color 4  3-7/8" square in half once on the diagonal to make two Half Square Triangles...

Using a scant 1/4" seam allowance now and throughout the block making, sew a Color 4 Half Square Triangle to the top and bottom of the Color 1  3-1/2" square...

Then add the trapezoids to the left and right...on to Page 2!
