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

• Brown: Cut ONE (1) 4 1/2″ square. (This is flanked by the results of the White 5 1/4″ square. Which will create the Square in a Square #1. It’s also the center of this quilt block.)
• Brown: Cut TWO (2) 4 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 results of the White 5 1/4″ square, which will create the Square in a Square #2, as needed for this quilt block.)

• White: Cut SIX (6) 2 7/8″ squares. On the back side the square draw a diagonal line, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. (These will be paired with the Brown 2 7/8″ squares, to create TWELVE (12) Half-Square Triangles, as needed for this quilt block.
• White: Cut ONE (1) 5 1/4″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. You’ll end up with TWO (2) triangles. (These will flank the Brown 4 1/2″ square to create the Square in a Square #1. They’ll also help create the center of this quilt block.)
