** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** 

Start by cutting the Color 1  3-1/2" x 7" strip into two 3-1/2" squares. Cut the Color 1  3-7/8" square in half once on the diagonal to make two half square triangles...

Use the templates provided to cut two trapezoids from the Color 2 and Color 3  3-3/4" x 19-1/4" strips...*note the directions these are cut in!*

Now cut the Color 4  3-1/2" x 7" strip into two 3-1/2" squares. Cut the Color 5  3-7/8" square in half once on the diagonal to make two half square triangles...

Sew the Color 1/Color 5 half square triangles right sides together in pairs, using a 1/4" seam, making two half square units. Press to darker side. These should measure 3-1/2"...

Lay out the half squares and Color 4 squares as shown at left and sew together to make the block's center unit...

Sew Color 1  3-1/2"squares to the square ends of the two Color 2 trapezoids. Press seams to dark side...on to Page 2!
