Feathered Quilt Block

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

• Dk. Blue: Cut FOUR (4) 2 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ rectangles. (These are paired with the White
  2 1/2″ square in the center of this quilt block.)
• Aqua: Cut ONE (1) 3 1/4″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, TWO (2) times. Will yield FOUR (4) triangles. (These triangles will flank ONE (1) end of the Aqua 1 7/8″ x 3 3/8″ rectangles which will partially create FOUR (4) Flying Geese.)
• Aqua: Cut ONE (1) 3 1/4″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, TWO (2) times. Will yield FOUR (4) triangles. (These triangles are paired on  ONE (1) end with the Aqua 1 7/8″ x 3 3/8″ rectangles.)
• Aqua: Cut FOUR (4) 1 7/8″ x 3 3/8″ rectangles. (These are paired with the Jade 1 7/8″ x
  3 3/8″ rectangles. They’re also paired on ONE (1) end with the results of the Aqua 3 1/4″ square.)
• Jade: Cut ONE (1) 3 1/4″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, TWO (2) times. Will yield FOUR (4) triangles. (These triangles will flank ONE (1) end of the Jade 1 7/8″ x 3 3/8″ rectangles which will partially create FOUR (4) Flying Geese.)
• Jade: Cut ONE (1) 3 1/4″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, TWO (2) times. Will yield FOUR (4) triangles. (These triangles are paired on  ONE (1) end with the Jade 1 7/8″ x 3 3/8″ rectangles.)
• Jade: Cut FOUR (4) 1 7/8″ x 3 3/8″ rectangles. (These are paired with the Aqua 1 7/8″ x

(These triangles are flanked on ONE (1) side by the results of the Aqua 3 1/4″ square. They’re also flanked on ONE (1) other side by the results of the Jade 3 1/4″ square. Once sewn together they’ll create FOUR (4) Flying Geese.)
