Flower Pot

Start by cutting the Color 1 4-7/8 x 9-3/4" strip into two 4-7/8" squares. Stack these squares and cut them once on the diagonal to make four half square triangles. You will only need three for a block, so save the other triangle for another project!

Next cut the Color 2 4-7/8" square in half once on the diagonal to make two half square triangles. You only need one of these HSTs so save the other for another project! Now cut the Color 2 2-7/8" x 8-5/8" strip into three 2-7/8" squares. Stack the squares and cut them once on the diagonal to make six half square triangles...

Now cut the Color 3 4-7/8" square in half along one diagonal to make two half square triangles. Cut the Color 3 2-1/2" x 15-1/2" strip into two 2-1/2" x 6-1/2" rectangles and one 2-1/2" square. Now cut the Color 3 2-7/8" x 8-5/8" strip into three 2-7/8" squares. Stack the squares and cut them once on the diagonal to make six half square triangles...

To make the first unit of the block, using a scant 1/4" seam, sew four Color 2 2-7/8" half square triangles right sides together to four Color 3 half square triangles of the same size to make four Half Squares. Press seams to darker sides. Now assemble Unit A by sewing together, the Color 3 2-1/2" square, two Half Squares, and an extra Color 3 2-7/8" half square triangle. Make one Unit A...

To make the next unit, sew together two Half Squares, and an extra Color 3 2-7/8" half square triangle. To assemble Unit B add a Color 3 4-7/8" half square triangle to the right side of the joined Half Squares-and-triangle. Make one Unit B...on to Page 2!
