Queen’s Treasure Quilt Block

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

• Blue: Cut FOUR (4) 2″ x 3 1/2″ rectangles. (These are paired with the White 3 1/2″ squares as needed to sew this quilt block together.)
• Blue: Cut FOUR (4) 2″ x 5″ rectangles. (These are the FOUR (4) corners of this quilt block.)
• Violet: Cut FOUR (4) 2″ x 3 1/2″ rectangles. (These are paired with the Purple 2″ x 3 1/2″ rectangles as needed to sew this quilt block together.)
• Violet: Cut TWO (2) 2 3/8″ squares. Then cut the squares diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. Will yield TWO (2) triangles per square. (These triangles will flank the results of the White 4 1/4″ square, which will partially create FOUR (4) Flying Geese, as needed to sew this quilt block together.)
• Violet: Cut TWO (2) 2 3/8″ squares. On the back side of the squares draw a diagonal line, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. (These are paired with the Purple 2 3/8″ squares which will create FOUR (4) Half-Square Triangles. Once all of them are sewn together they’ll create the center of this quilt block.)
• Purple: Cut FOUR (4) 2″ x 3 1/2″ rectangles. (These are paired with the Violet 2″ x 3 1/2″ rectangles as needed to sew this quilt block together.)
• Purple: Cut TWO (2) 2 3/8″ squares. Then cut the squares diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. Will yield TWO (2) triangles per square. (These triangles will flank the results of the White 4 1/4″ square, which will partially create FOUR (4) Flying Geese, as needed to sew this quilt block together.)
• Purple: Cut TWO (2) 2 3/8″ squares. (These are paired with the Violet 2 3/8″ squares which will create FOUR (4) Half-Square Triangles. Once all of them are sewn together they’ll create the center of this quilt block.)
• White: Cut ONE (1) 4 1/4″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, TWO (2) times. Will yield FOUR (4) triangles. (These triangles are flanked on ONE (1) side by the results of the Violet 2 3/8″ square. They’re also flanked on ONE (1) other side by the results of the Purple 2 3/8″ squares. Once sewn all together they’ll create FOUR (4) Flying Geese as needed to sew this quilt block together.)
• White: Cut FOUR (4) 3 1/2″ squares. (These are paired on ONE (1) side by the Blue 2″ x 3 1/2″ rectangles. They’re also paired on ONE (1) other side by the Violet 2″ x 3 1/2″ rectangles. In addition they’re paired with the Purple 2 x 3 1/2″ rectangles. All are needed to sew this quilt block together.)
