Cut three LIGHT 3-1/2" squares... Cut three DARK 3-7/8" half square triangles...( HSTs= triangles that are one diagonal half of a square) Cut three LIGHT 3-7/8" half square triangles... |

Sew the HSTs together in pairs, matching one dark to each light, using a 1/4" seam, and pressing the seams to the darker sides. These should measure 3-1/2"... |
