This is the third block you will make – the instructions are for ONE (1) block but you will need TWO (2) blocks for the quilt shown above.  The blocks are 15″ finished and 15 1/2″ unfinished:

Cutting Instructions for ONE (1) Block:

1. Background Fabric:  Cut FOUR (4) 5 1/2″ squares
2. Background Fabric:  Cut TWO (2) 5 7/8″ squares – draw a diagonal line, corner-to-corner ONE (1) time on the back of each of these squares
3. Orange Fabric:  Cut TWO (2) 5 7/8″ squares
4. Medium Brown Fabric:  Cut TWO (2) 3 3/8″ squares
5. Bright Orange Fabric:  Cut TWO (2) 3 3/8″ squares – draw a diagonal line, corner-to-corner ONE (1) time on the back of each of these squares

Putting the Block Together:

1. Using the Orange Fabric and a Background Fabric 5 7/8″ squares, right sides together, sew 1/4″ on EACH SIDE of the line you drew, then cut the half-square triangles apart ON the line you drew.  You will end up with TWO (2) half-square triangles.  Repeat so you have FOUR (4) half-square triangles.
2. Following the same technique with the Bright Orange and Medium Brown fabrics, make two so you have four half-square triangles.
3. Sew the center half-square triangles together to create your pinwheel center.
4. Sew the individual rows together first, using the image above as your guide.
5. Finally, sew the rows to each other so you end up with a Shoo-Fly block!

Remember, the instructions above are for ONE (1) block.  You need TWO (2) of these blocks for the quilt top.
