Cutting Requirements for 12″ finished block (scant 1/4″ seam allowance):

• Cyan Blue: Cut FOUR (4) 2 3/8″ x 4 3/4″ rectangles. (These are paired with the Blue/White Half-Square Triangles. They’ll create a “frame” around the Blue 4 3/4″ in the square center of this quilt block.)
• Blue: Cut TWO (2) 3 3/8″ squares. (These are paired with the White 3 3/8″ squares which will create FOUR (4) Half-Square Triangles. They’re then paired with the Cyan Blue 2 3/8″ x 4 3/4″ rectangles. Which will create a “frame” around the Blue 4 3/4″ square in the center of this quilt block.)
• Blue: Cut TWO (2) 3 7/8″ squares. (These are paired with the White 3 7/8″ squares which will create FOUR (4) Half-Square Triangles. They’ll also be the FOUR (4) corners of this quilt block.)
• Blue: Cut ONE (1) 4 3/4″ square. (This is the center of this quilt block. It’s “framed” by the Cyan Blue 2 3/8″ x 4 3/4″ rectangles. As well as the Blue/White Half-Square Triangles. All are needed to sew this quilt block together.)
• White: Cut TWO (2) 3 3/8″ squares. On the back side of the squares draw a diagonal line, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. (These are paired with the Blue 3 3/8″ squares which will create FOUR (4) Half-Square Triangles. They’re then paired with the Cyan Blue 2 3/8″ x 4 3/4″ rectangles. Which will create a “frame” around the Blue 4 3/4″ square in the center of this quilt block.)
• White: Cut TWO (2) 3 7/8″ squares. On the back side of the squares draw a diagonal line, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. (These are paired with the Blue 3 7/8″ squares which will create FOUR (4) Half-Square Triangles. They’ll also be the FOUR (4) corners of this quilt block.)
• White: Cut FOUR (4) 3 7/8″ squares. Then cut the squares diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. You’ll end up with TWO (2) triangles per square. (These will flank the Purple/White Half-Square Triangles in the FOUR (4) corners of this quilt block.)
