Hot Cross Buns Quilt Block

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

• Peach: Cut TWO (2) 3 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 paired with the Rust 1 1/4″ x 4 3/4″ rectangles. Then they’re flanked by the results of the Rust 5 1/4″ squares. All are needed to sew this quilt block together.)
• Dark Salmon: Cut ONE (1) 5 1/4″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, TWO (2) times. You’ll end up with FOUR (4) triangles. (These triangles are paired with the results of the Rust 5 1/4″ squares. They’re also paired with the results of the White 5 1/4″ square. All together they’ll create FOUR (4) Quarter-Square Triangles as needed to sew this quilt block together.)
• Rust: Cut EIGHT (8) 1 1/4″ squares. On the back side of the squares draw a diagonal line, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. (These are paired with the Rust 1 1/4″ x 4 3/4″ rectangles, which will create EIGHT (8) Snowball Corners, as needed to sew this quilt block together.)
• Rust: Cut ONE (1) 3 1/4″ square. Then cut the squares diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. You’ll end up with TWO (2) triangles per square. (These triangles will flank the White
  1 7/8″ squares & they’ll also flank the White 1 7/8″ x 4 3/4″ rectangle. When sewn together they’ll help create the center of this quilt block.)
• Rust: Cut FOUR (4) 1 1/4″ x 4 3/4″ rectangles. (These are paired with the 1 1/2″ squares which will create EIGHT (8) Snowball Corners. They’re also paired with the results of the Peach 3 7/8″ squares as needed to sew this quilt block together.)
• Rust: Cut TWO (2) 5 1/4″ squares. Then cut the squares diagonally, corner-to-corner, TWO (2) times. You’ll end up with FOUR (4) triangles per square.

• White: Cut ONE (1) 1 7/8″ x 4 3/4″ rectangle. (This is paired with the White 1 7/8″ squares which will create TWO (2) Snowball Corners. They’re paired with the White 1 7/8″ squares & will help create the center of this quilt block when it’s sewn together.)
• White: Cut ONE (1) 5 1/4″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, TWO (2) times. You’ll end up with FOUR (4) triangles.
