Repeat this with the Color 2 3" x 6" strip, cutting that into two 3" squares, stacking those and cutting them into four half square triangles... |
|
|
Then mark and cut the Color 3 3-7/8" x 7-3/4" strip into two 3-7/8" squares. Stack these and cut them once on the diagonal to make four half square triangles. Repeat this with the Color 3 3" x 6" strip, cutting that into two 3" squares, stacking those and cutting them into four half square triangles... |

Now mark and cut the Color 3 3-1/2" x 14" strip into four 3-1/2" squares... |

Next mark and cut the Color 1 4-1/4" x 17" strip into four 4-1/4" squares. Stack these and cut them twice on the diagonal to make sixteen quarter square triangles. Mark and cut the Color 3 4-1/4" x 8-1/2" strip into two 4-1/4" squares. Stack and cut them twice on the diagonal t make eight quarter square triangles... |

Using the Color 2 and Color 3 half square triangles, sew four each in small size and large size, using a scant 1/4" seam allowance. Press seams to the darker sides, and trim the smaller one's back to measure 2-5/8" if needed. Trim the larger ones back to measure 3-1/2" if needed... |
