This is the fifth 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. Green Fabric:  Cut TWO (2) 5 7/8″ squares
4. Bright Green Fabric:  Cut TWO (2) 3 3/8″ squares – then CUT each square diagonally, corner-to-corner ONE (1) time
5. Dark Green Fabric:  Cut ONE (1) 4 1/8″ squares

Putting the Block Together:

1. Using the Green 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. Sew the Bright Green triangles onto two opposite sides of the Dark Green Fabric square, press toward the Bright Green fabric and then sew the remaining Bright Green triangles to the two opposite sides of the Dark Green Fabric square, pressing toward the Dark Green fabric to create your center square.
3. Sew the individual rows together first, using the image above as your guide.
4. 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.
