** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |

Start by marking and cutting the Color 1 2-1/2" x 10" strip into four 2-1/2" squares. Mark and cut the Color 1 2-7/8" x 5-3/4" strip into two 2-7/8" squares. Stack the 2-7/8" squares and cut them once on the diagonal to make four half square triangles. Now cut the Color 1 3-1/4" square in half on both diagonals to make four quarter square triangles... |
|
|
Next cut the Color 2 3-1/4" square in half on both diagonals to make four quarter square triangles. Mark and cut the Color 2 8" x 5" strip into eight 2" x 2-1/2" rectangles... |

Using a 1/4" seam, sew Color 1 and Color 2 quarter square triangles together as shown at far left. Press seam to dark side. Sew a Color 1 half square triangle to the qsts. Press seam towards half square triangle. Make four units like this. Trim to measure 2-1/2" if needed... |
