Start by cutting the Color 1 5-3/8" and the 3-1/8" squares each in half once on the diagonal to make two half square triangles of each... |

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

Now cut the Color 3 2-3/8" x 7-1/8" strip into three 2-3/8" squares. Stack these and cut them once on the diagonal to make six half square triangles. Cut the Color 3 3-1/8" x 9-3/8" strip into three 3-1/8" squares. Stack these and cut them once on the diagonal to make six half square triangles. Cut the Color 3 2" x 14" strip into four 2" x 3-1/2" rectangles... Now Let's Sew! |

Sew two Color 2 2-3/8" half square triangles right sides together to two Color 3 hsts of the same size, using a 1/4" seam, making two half squares. Press to darker side. These should measure 2" . Now sew a Color 3 hst to the top and another to the left of these half squares. Press towards newly added triangles. Add a Color 2 3-7/8" half square triangle to each of these pieced triangles. Press towards larger triangles. Next sew a Color 2 2" square to one end of two Color 3 rectangles. Press towards the rectangle. Sew the last two rectangles to the right sides of the blue square pieced units. Press towards the rectangle. Add the rectangles-plus-square unit to the tops...on to Page 2! |
