Milky Way Quilt Block

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

• Navy Blue: Cut TWO (2) 3″ squares. (These are flanked by the results of the Light Blue 3 1/4″ squares as needed for this quilt block.)
• Navy Blue: Cut ONE (1) 3 3/4″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, TWO (2) times. You’ll end up with FOUR (4) triangles. You only need TWO (2) of these triangles for this quilt block. (These are paired with the results of the Light Blue 3 3/4″ square, which will create a Quarter-Square Triangle. It’ll also be the center of this quilt block.)
• Blue: Cut FOUR (4) 3 1/4″ squares. On the back side of the squares draw a diagonal line, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. (TWO (2) of these are paired with the results of the Light Blue 3 1/4″ squares, which will create FOUR (4) Half-Square Triangles. The other TWO (2) will be paired with the results of the White 3 1/4″ squares, which will create FOUR (4) additional Half-Square Triangles.)
• Light Blue: Cut TWO (2) 3″ squares. (These are flanked by the results of the Blue 3 1/4″ squares as needed for this quilt block.)
