Next cut the Color 4  2-1/2" x 7-1/2" strip into three 2-1/2" squares. Now use the templates (A) provided to cut two side triangle units from the Color 4  5" x 14-1/2" strip. Then use the templates (you made from B) to cut two outer triangles from the Color 4  3-1/2" x 26-1/2" strip...

 

 

Using a 1/4" seam allowance now and for all the block-making, sew together five Color 2 and four Color 1  2-1/2" squares to make a Nine Patch unit. This should measure 6-1/2"...on to Page 2!
