Now place a Color 1 2" square right sides together against the upper left end of a Color 3 rectangle. On the back of the square, draw the diagonal, and sew ON this drawn line. Cut off the excess seam allowance, pressing the remainder towards the triangle. Make another rectangle unit like this with a small square sewn to the bottom right corner in the same manner... |

Sew a Color 3 half square triangle to a Color 2 half square triangle, using a 1/4" seam and pressing the seam allowance to the darker side. Make two units like this. trim these back to measure 3-1/2" if needed... |

| Next sew a Color 2 template-cut triangle to the left and bottom of the right corner unit, pressing seams out towards the triangles. Then sew the last two Color 3 half square triangles to the left and bottom of that, again pressing seams out towards the newest triangles... |

|
Sew the Color 1 large half square triangle to the lower left corner of that, pressing seam towards the Color 1 triangle...this isn't hard, there are just a lot of little steps... :o) |

Sew the block's bottom row...the base unit, the other rectangle unit, and the last Color 1 square...then attach that to the bottom of the block! ..and it's DONE! ...on to Page 3! |
