For this block you will need:
4) 4 inch background squares
1) cream and red 4 inch square
1) green 4 inch square
2) cream/green/red 4 inch squares
4) red 4 inch squares
4) 3 1/2 inch background squares
Draw a diagonal line on the back of each of the 4 inch cream squares. Match each of these squares to a 4 inch red square making sure the right sides are together and the outside edges are aligned. Sew 1/4 inch on each side of the drawn line. Cut on the drawn line. Square to 3 1/2 inches and press toward the red.
Draw a diagonal line on the back of the 4 inch cream/red/green squares. Match one to the green square and one to the cream/red square. Repeat the process described above to create 2 half square triangle blocks from each set.
