• Yellow: Cut SIX (6) 2 7/8″ squares. On the back side of the squares draw a diagonal line, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. (These are paired with the Gold 2 7/8″ squares which will create TWELVE (12) Half-Square Triangles. FOUR (4) of these Half-Square Triangles are the FOUR (4) corners of this quilt block.)
• Gold: Cut SIX (6) 2 7/8″ squares. (These are paired with the Yellow 2 7/8″ squares which will create TWELVE (12) Half-Square Triangles. FOUR (4) of these Half-Square Triangles are the FOUR (4) corners of this quilt block.)
• Gold: Cut FOUR (4) 2 7/8″ squares. Then cut the squares diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. Will yield TWO (2) triangles per square. (These triangles are paired on ONE (1) side with the Yellow/Gold Half-Square Triangles. Then they’re paired on ONE (1) other side with the White 3 3/8″ square.)
• White: Cut FOUR (4) 3 3/8″ squares. (These are paired on ONE (1) side with the Gold
  3 3/8″ squares. They’re also paired on ONE (1) other side with the Orange 3 3/8″ squares. In addition they’re paired with the results of the Gold 2 7/8″ squares.)
