Start by cutting the Color 1 and Color 3 2-7/8" x 5-3/4" strips into two 2-7/8" squares of each. Stack these squares and cut them once on the diagonal tom make four half square triangles of each... |

|
Next cut the Color 2 3" x 9" strip into four 1-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangles... |
|
|
Now cut the Color 3 1-1/2" x 6" strip into four 1-1/2" squares... |
|
|
Using a scant 1/4" seam, stitch each Color 1 half square triangle to a Color 3 half square triangle. Press seams to darker side. Trim to measure 2-1/2" if needed. Make four units like this... |
