Then mark and cut the Color 1  2-7/8" x 31-5/8" strip into eleven 2-7/8" squares. Stack and cut the squares once on the diagonal to make 22 half square triangles. You will need 21 of these per block...

Next mark and cut the Color 1  2-1/2"  x 25" strip into two 2-1/2" x 12-1/2" rectangles...

Now cut the Color 1  14-7/8" square once on the diagonal to make two half square triangles. You will need one for each block...

 

Then cut the Color 2  2-7/8" square in half once on the diagonal to make two half squares...

 

Next cut 28 half square triangles from 2-7/8" squares, either using 28 different fabrics, OR from fourteen 2-7/8" squares, and have pairs of color repeats within the block...on to Page 2!
