Next cut the Color 2 2-1/2" x 22-1/2" strip into
nine 2-1/2" squares. Cut the Color 2 2-7/8" x
11-1/2" strip into four 2-7/8" squares. Stack those
2-7/8" squares and cut them in half once on the diagonal to make
eight half square triangles...
Now cut the Color 3 2-1/2" x 10" strip into four
2-1/2" squares. Cut the Color 3 2-7/8" x 11-1/2"
strip into four 2-7/8" squares. Stack those 2-7/8" squares
and cut them in half once on the diagonal to make eight half square
triangles...
Then cut the Color 4 2-7/8" x 23" strip into eight
2-7/8" squares. Stack those and cut once on the diagonal to make
sixteen half square triangles. Cut the Color 4 2-1/2" x

Use Color 1 and Color 2 2-1/2" squares to sew four of
