Beacon Quilt Block

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

• Purple: Cut ONE (1) 4 3/4″ square. (This is the center of this quilt block.)
• Purple: Cut TWO (2) 4 1/4″ squares. Then cut the squares diagonally, corner-to-corner, TWO (2) times. You’ll end up with FOUR (4) triangles per square. (These will flank both sides of the results of the White 4 1/4″ squares as needed for this quilt block.)
• Pink: Cut FOUR (4) 3 1/2″ squares. (These are the FOUR (4) corners of this quilt block.)
• Pink: Cut FOUR (4) 2 1/2″ x 4 2/4″ rectangles. (These will create a “frame” around the center Purple 4 3/4″ square.)
• White: Cut FOUR (4) 2 1/2″ squares. (These are the cornerstones for the “frame” around the center Purple 4 3/4″ square.)
• White: Cut TWO (2) 4 1/4″ squares. Then cut the squares diagonally, corner-to-corner, TWO (2) times. You’ll end up with FOUR (4) triangles per square. (These will flank the Pink 3 1/2″ squares which are the FOUR (4) corners of this quilt block.)
