Fabric Requirements:

Fabric A: Dark (Green)

4 - 2 1/2" squares

Fabric B:  Medium (Beige)

4 - 2 7/8" squares, cut on diagonal

Fabric C:  Light (Gold)

5 - 2 3/8" squares

Fabric D:  Dark (Red)

4 - 2 3/8" squares

I was inspired by everyone's

fussy cuts this week and

went along with the crowd!

If you are using fussy cuts,

layout the block first and

then sew the units together

so everything is going in the

correct direction.

Sew Fabric B triangle to

Fabric A square as shown.

Trim dogear and then sew

the other Fabric B triangle

as shown.  Make 4.

Layout Fabric C & D squares

as shown and sew together in

3 rows.  Press seams in rows

1 & 3 to the inside and seams

in row 2 to the outside.

Sew rows together.

Press these seams open.

Square center 9 Patch to 6 1/8".

Sew triangle units to opposite

sides of  9 Patch.  Press seams

open and trim dogears.

Sew remaining triangle units to

opposite sides of 9 Patch and

press seams open to reduce bulk.

Square to 8 1/2".

Here is another one.

This could be an interesting quilt.
