** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block **

Start by cutting the Color 1 and Color 3  4-7/8" x 9-3/4" strips into two 4-7/8" squares of each. Stack these and cut once on the diagonal to make four half square triangles of each...

Now use the Square A template, the Triangle B template and the Triangle C template to cut four Square A's, eight Triangle B's and four Triangle C's from the Color 1  4-1/2" x 16" strip...

 

Use the Triangle B template and the Triangle A template to cut eight Triangle B's and eight Triangle A's from the Color 2  4-1/2" x 23" strip...

 

Then use the Square B template and the Square A template to cut one Square B and four Square A's from the Color 3  4-1/2" x 8" strip...

 

Using a scant 1/4" seam now and throughout the block making process, sew Color 1 Triangle B's to  Color 3 Square A's as shown at left. Press seams to darker side. Make four  Side Units like this...

Sew the Color 1 and Color 3 half square triangles together to make four half squares. Press to dark side and trim each one to measure 4-1/2" if needed...on to Page 2!
