Patch Blossom Quilt Block

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

• Dark Green: Cut ONE (1) 2 1/2″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. You will end up with TWO (2) triangles. (These will flank the Dark Green 3 7/8″ x 7 1/4″ rectangle.)
• Dark Green: Cut ONE (1) 3 7/8″ x 7 1/4″ rectangle. (This will be flanked by the results of the White 4 3/4″ square on TWO (2) sides. It’s also the “trunk” of the Patch Blossom tree.)
• Dark Green: Cut ONE (1) 3 1/4″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. You will end up with TWO (2) triangles. You only need ONE (1) of these triangles for this quilt block. (This will flank the Dark Green 3 7/8″ x 7 1/4″ rectangle.)
• Dark Green: Cut SIX (6) 3 1/4″ squares. (These are paired with the White 3 1/4″ squares which will create TWELVE (12) Half-Square Triangles.)
• White: Cut ONE (1) 2 1/4″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. You will end up with TWO (2) triangles. (These will flank the White 2″ x 2 7/8″ rectangles.)
• White: Cut TWO (2) 2″ x 2 7/8″ rectangles. (These are paired with the White 2 3/8″ x 4 3/8″ rectangles.)
• White: Cut TWO (2) 2 3/8″ x 4 3/8″ rectangles. (These are paired on ONE (1) side with the White 2″ x 2 7/8″ rectangles. And they will flank the results of the White 4 3/4″ square on the other side.)
• White: Cut ONE (1) 4 3/4″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. You will end up with TWO (2) triangles. (These will flank the Dark Green 3 7/8″ x 7 1/4″ rectangle.)
• White: Cut SIX (6) 3 1/4″ squares. On the back side of the squares draw a diagonal line, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. (These are paired with the Dark Green 3 1/4″ squares which will create TWELVE (12) Half-Square Triangles.)
