Texas Two Step Quilt Block
Cutting Requirements for 12″ finished block (scant 1/4″ seam allowance):
- Aqua: Cut SIXTEEN (16) 1 7/8″ squares. (These are flanked by the results of the White 1 7/8″ squares which will create SIXTEEN (26) Square in a Squares. FOUR (4) of these Square in a Squares are the FOUR (4) corners of this quilt block.)
- Aqua: Cut SIXTEEN (16) 1 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ rectangles. (These are paired with each of the Square in a Squares, as well as the White 1 1/2″ squares, as needed for this quilt block.)
- Aqua: Cut FOUR (4) 2 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ rectangles. (These are paired with the White 2 1/2″ square that’s at the center of this quilt block.)
- White: Cut ONE (1) 2 1/2″ square. (This is the center of this quilt block. It’s paired with the Aqua 2 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ rectangles.)
- White: Cut FOUR (4) 1 1/2″ squares. (These are paired with the Aqua 1 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ rectangles.)
- White: Cut THIRTY-TWO (32) 1 7/8″ square. Then cut the squares diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. You’ll end up with TWO (2) triangles per square.
