Easter Lily Quilt Block
Cutting Requirements for 12″ finished block (scant 1/4″ seam allowance):
- Yellow: Cut TWO (2) 2 7/8″ squares. (These are paired with the White 2 7/8″ squares which will create FOUR (4) Half-Square Triangles. Only THREE (3) of these Half-Square Triangles are needed to sew this quilt block together. ONE (1) of these Half-Square Triangles will be the upper right-hand corner of this quilt block.)
- Yellow: Cut ONE (1) 2 7/8″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. You’ll end up with TWO (2) triangles. Only ONE (1) of these triangles is needed to sew this quilt block together. (This triangle is sandwiched between the Yellow/White Half-Square Triangles that’s not the corner Half-Square Triangle.)
- Yellow: Cut ONE 6 7/8″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. You’ll end up with TWO (2) triangles. Only ONE (1) of these triangles is needed for to sew this quilt block together. (This triangle is paired with the results of the White 6 7/8″ square.)

- Green: Cut ONE (1) 1 1/4″ x 8 1/4″ rectangle. (This is the “Stem” of the “Easter Lily” flower. It’s paired with the Green 1 3/8″ squares, which will create TWO (2) Snowball Corners, as needed to sew this quilt block together.)
