Fair and Square Quilt Block

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

• Yellow: Cut FOUR (4) 3 1/2″ squares. (These are paired with the White 3 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangles as needed for this quilt block.)
• Yellow: Cut FOUR (4) 1 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangles. (These are paired with the Orange 1 1/2″ x
  4 1/2″ rectangles as needed for this quilt block.)
• Orange: Cut TWO (2) 2 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 White 3 3/8″ square which will create ONE (1) Square in a Square. They’ll also help create the center of this quilt block.)
