Ladder Quilt Block

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

• Blue: Cut ONE (1) 3 7/8″ square. (This is the center of this quilt block.)
• Gray: Cut EIGHT (8) 4 3/8″ squares. Then cut the squares diagonally, corner-to-corner, TWO (2) times. Will yield FOUR (4) triangles per square. (These triangles will flank the results of the White 3 3/4″ squares. Which will create SIXTEEN (16) Flying Geese.)
• White: Cut TEN (10) 4 3/4″ squares. Then cut the squares diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. Will yield TWO (2) triangles per square. (These triangles are flanked by the results of the Gray 4 3/8″ squares. Which will create SIXTEEN (16) Flying Geese.)
• White: Cut ONE (1) 10 3/8″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. Will yield TWO (2) triangles. (These triangles are paired on TWO (2) sides with the Gray/White Flying Geese.)
