Cactus Flower - Page 2

Mark the half way point of the slant side of  the 6 1/2" Color 2 triangle. Mark the half way point of the Color 1  11-7/8" x 2" strip. Matching these two half way points, sew these together, using a scant 1/4" seam. Using a ruler, chop off the Color 1 ends even with the sides of the triangle...
Now sew the shorter Color 1 strip between the two Color 2 quarter square triangles, again using scant 1/4' seams...

Then sew the small Color 2 triangle to the lower left corner. Now sew this half of the center block, to the large triangle-with-strip side...

Row one of the block, is two half squares, and the Color 2  4- 1/2" square...

Row two is the center square we just pieced, sewn to a sewn together pair of half squares. Now just sew those rows together, and that's the block!
