... we have fun at QuiltSkandinavia

1. Use a pencil and draw a diagonal line (fig.1) on the wrong side of  

• 2 light gray squares 5”x 5”,

• 1 orange square 3” x 3”, and

• 2 yellow squares 3” x 3”.

2.  Pair the squares from nr. 1 together with blue (background) squares with the same size, right sides together:

• 2 light gray squares 5”x 5” together with 2 blue (background) squares 5”x 5”,

• 1 orange square 3” x 3” together with 1 blue (background) square 3” x 3”, and

• 2 yellow squares 3” x 3” together with 2 blue (background) squares 3” x 3”.

5. Trim the large blocks to 4 ½” x 4 ½”.

6. Trim the small blocks to 2 ½” x 2 ½”.  
.

At this point you will have:

• 4 half-square triangle blocks with a triangle of blue (background) and light grey,

• 2 half-square triangle blocks with a triangle of blue (background) and orange, and

• 4 half-square triangle blocks with a triangle of blue (background) and yellow.

Put these aside and wait for part 2.

7. You will need 

• 2 yellow squares 1 ½”x 1 ½”, and 

• 2 orange squares 1 ½”x 1 ½”.

Arrange the pieces as shown (fig. 4) and sew the block together.

8. Make one more block like this 

Now you should have 2 four-patch blocks all together.

Put these aside and wait for part 2.
