Valentine’s Quilt Block

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

• Pink: Cut TWO (2) 4 3/4″ squares. (These are paired with the White 4 3/4″ squares which will create FOUR (4) Half-Square Triangles. They will also be the FOUR (4) corners of this quilt block.)
• Pink: Cut ONE (1) 4 3/4″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. Will yield TWO (2) triangles. (These triangles are paired with the results of the Dk. Pink 4 3/4″ square which will create ONE (1) Quarter-Square Triangle. Once it is sewn together it will be the center of this quilt block. Then it will be flanked by the results of the White 4 3/4″ squares which will create ONE (1) Square in a Square.)
• Magenta: Cut ONE (1) 4 3/4″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. Will yield TWO (2) triangles. (These triangles are paired with the results of the Pink 4 3/4″ square which will create ONE (1) Quarter-Square Triangle. Once it is sewn together it will be the center of this quilt block. Then it will be flanked by the results of the White 4 3/4″ squares which will create ONE (1) Square in a Square.)

• White: Cut TWO (2) 4 3/4″ squares. On the back side of the squares draw a diagonal line, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. (These are paired with the Pink 4 3/4″ squares which will create FOUR (4) Half-Square Triangles. They will also be the FOUR (4) corners of this quilt block.)
