** Preparing the Pieces **

Next cut the Color 2  3-7/8" x 15-1/2" strip into four 3-7/8" squares, and further cut each of these squares on the diagonal to make eight half square triangles. You will only need seven for this block...

 

Now cut the Color 2  3-7/8" x 15-1/2" strip into four 3-7/8" squares, and further cut each of THESE squares on the diagonal to make eight half square triangles. You will only need seven for this block...now...
