Church Steps Quilt Block

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

• Red: Cut THIRTY (30) 1 1/4″ squares. On the back side of the squares draw a diagonal line, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. (These will be paired, with each of the White rectangle cuts (below), to create Snowball Corners).
• White: Cut ONE (1) 2 1/2″ square. (This is the center of this quilt block. It’s paired with FOUR (4) of the 1 1/4″ squares which will create ONE (1) Square in a Square.)
• White: Cut TWO (2) 6 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 are the FOUR (4) corners of this quilt block.)
• White: Cut FOUR (4) 1 1/4″ x 4″ rectangles. (These are paired with the Red 1 1/4″ squares which will create FOUR (4) Snowball Corners. They’ll also be paired with the Square in a Square in the center of this quilt block.)
• White: Cut FOUR (4) 1 1/4″ x 5″ rectangles. (These are paired with the Red 1 1/4″ squares which will create FOUR (4) Snowball corners. They’ll also be paired with the FOUR (4) prior rectangles.)
• White: Cut FOUR (4) 1 1/4″ x 6 7/8″ rectangles. (These are paired with the Red 1 1/4″ squares which will create FOUR (4) Snowball Corners. They’ll also be paired with the FOUR (4) prior rectangles.)
• White: Cut FOUR (4) 1 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ rectangles. (These are paired with the Red 1 1/4″ squares which will create FOUR (4) Snowball Corners. They’ll also be paired with the FOUR (4) prior White rectangles.)
