This makes a 9" block !

This is an original pattern. Please abide by the Terms and Conditions of use! :o)

** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** 

Cut the Color 1 and Color 3  3-7/8" squares in half once on the diagonal to make two half square triangles of each. Cut the Color 1 and Color 3  4-1/4" squares in half on BOTH diagonals to make four quarter square triangles of each...

Now cut the Color 2 and Color 4  1-1/2" x 19" strips into four 1-1/2" x 2-1/2 rectangles and six 1-1/2" squares of each. Cut the Color 2 and Color 4  2" x 4" strips into two 2" squares of each...

Next cut the Color 5  1-1/2" x 13" strip into eight 1-1/2" squares. Cut the Color 5  4-1/4" square in half on BOTH diagonals to make four quarter square triangles...

(Use all scant 1/4" seam allowances now and throughout the block making!) Sew the Color 2 and Color 4  2" squares together to make one four patch unit for the block's center. 

Sew two four patch units using the Color 2 and Color 5  1-1/2" squares.  Sew a Color 4 rectangle to the side of the four patches with Color 2 in them. Sew Color 2 small squares to the end of two Color 4 rectangles  Add the square -plus-rectangle strips to the top of the four patches. (Repeat this to make two more units using Color 2 rectangles and Color 4 small squares instead-not shown)  ...on to Page 2!
