** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block **

Start by cutting the Color 1  3-1/2" x 14" strip into four 3-1/2" squares...

Cut the Color 2  3-1/2" x 7" strip into two 3-1/2" squares. Cut the Color 2  3-7/8" square in half once on the diagonal to make two half square triangles...

Now cut the Color 3  3-7/8" square in half once on the diagonal to make two half square triangles...

Join the half square triangles right sides together using a scant 1/4" seam allowance. Press to the darker side. Trim to measure 3-1/2" if needed. Make two units like this...

Now sew three rows as shown at left. Press row seams in alternating directions.  Sew the rows together to finish your block!
