Now stack the Color 1 and Color 2  1-7/8" x 15" strips with all edges aligned. Cut this at 1-7/8" intervals to make eight squares of each color. Keep the squares together in pairs and on the back of the top square lightly draw in the diagonal as shown at left in the enlargement Then sew 1/4" on each side of the drawn line.
