Next use the trapezoid template provided to cut four traps as shown at left from the Color 2   2" x 17" strip. Now cut the Color 2  2-3/8" x 4-3/4" strip into two 2-3/8" squares. Stack those squares and cut them in half once on the diagonal to make four Half Square Triangles...

Use the square template provided to cut four squares from the Color 3  3" x 12" strip...

Then cut the Color 4  2-3/8" x 19" strip into eight 2-3/8" squares. Stack these and cut them once on the diagonal to make sixteen Half Square Triangles. Cut the Color 4  3" square in half along both diagonals to make four Quarter Square Triangles...

Now we'll start to piece the block! Use a 1/4" seam now and throughout the block making. Sew a Color2 Half Square triangle to one side of a Color 3 square. Next sew a Color 4 Half Square Triangle to the opposite side of the Color 3 square. Press seams towards triangles. Now sew another Color 4 Half Square Triangle to the lower left edge, and another to the upper right edge. Press seams towards the triangles again. Make four units like this. These should measure 3-1/2"...on to Page 2!
