Rainbow Quilt Block

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

• Yellow: Cut ONE (1) 1 7/8″ x 21 1/2″ rectangle. (This is paired with the Red 1 7/8″ x 17 1/2″ rectangle on ONE (1) side & it’s paired on ONE (1) other side with the results of the White 12 7/8″ square. The rectangle’s longer than necessary, so you can cut it down to size, once you sew everything together!)
• Red: Cut ONE (1) 1 7/8″ x 17 1/2″ rectangle. (This is paired with one ONE (1) side the Yellow
  1 7/8″ x 21 1/2″ rectangle & it’s paired on ONE (1) other side with the Green 1 7/8″ x 15″ rectangle. The rectangle’s longer than necessary, so you can cut it down to size, once you sew everything together!)
• Green: Cut ONE (1) 1 7/8″ x 15″rectangle. (This is paired with on ONE (1) side the Red 1 7/8″ x 17 1/2″ rectangle & on ONE (1) other side it’s paired with the Blue 1 7/8″ x 12″ rectangle. The rectangle’s longer than necessary, so you can cut it down to size, once you sew everything together!)
• Blue: Cut ONE (1) 1 3/4″ x 12″ rectangle. (This is paired with on ONE (1) side the Green 1 7/8″ x 15″rectangle & on ONE (1) other side it’s paired with the results of the White 4 7/8″ square. The rectangle’s longer than necessary, so you can cut it down to size, once you sew everything together!)
• White: Cut ONE (1) 4 7/8″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. You’ll end up with TWO (2) triangles. You only need ONE (1) of these triangles for this block.
