4) 4" background squares
2) 4" red squares
4) 3 1/2" red squares
2) 4" blue squares
4) 3 1/2" blue squares

Draw a diagonal line on the back of all four background squares.

Match the two red squares with 2 of the background squares.

Match the two blue squares with two background squares.

Place the squares right sides together with the outside edges aligned.

Sew 1/4 inch on each side of the line.

Cut on the line.

Square to 3 1/2" and trim the corners from each end of the seam to eliminate bulk.

Press toward the darker fabrics.
