Vermont Quilt Block

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

• Tan: Cut FOUR (4) 2 1/2″ squares. On the back side of the squares draw a diagonal line, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. (These are paired with the Green 2 1/2″ squares which will create EIGHT (8) Half-Square Triangles.)
• Tan: Cut ONE (1) 2 3/4″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. Will yield TWO (2) triangles. (These triangles are first paired with the results of the Blue 2 3/4″ squares which will create ONE (1) Quarter-Square Triangle. Then they’re flanked by the results of the White 2 1/2″ squares which will create ONE (1) Square in a Square. Once they’re all sewn together they’ll be the center of this quilt block.)
• Green: Cut FOUR (4) 2 1/2″ squares. (These are paired with the Tan 2 1/2″ squares which will create EIGHT (8) Half-Square Triangles.)
• Green: Cut TWO (2) 2 1/2″ squares. Then cut the squares diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. Will yield TWO (2) triangles per square. (These are paired with the Blue 2 1/2″ squares. Once they’re sewn together they’ll be the FOUR (4) corners of this quilt block.)
• Blue: Cut FOUR (4) 2 1/2″ squares. (These are paired with the White 2 1/2″ squares which will create EIGHT (8) Half-Square Triangles.)
• Blue: Cut TWO (2) 2 1/2″ squares. Then cut the squares diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. Will yield TWO (2) triangles per square. (These triangles are paired with the results of the Green 2 1/2″ squares. Once they’re sewn together they’ll be the FOUR (4) corners of this quilt block.)
• Blue: Cut ONE (1) 2 3/4″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. Will yield TWO (2) triangles. (These triangles are first paired with the results of the Green 2 3/4″ squares which will create ONE (1) Quarter-Square Triangle. Then they’re flanked by the results of the White 2 1/2″ squares which will create ONE (1) Square in a Square. Once they’re all sewn together they’ll be the center of this quilt block.)
• White: Cut TWO (2) 2 1/2″ squares. Then cut the squares diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. Will yield TWO (2) triangles per square. (These triangles will flank the Blue/Tan Quarter-Square Triangle in the center of this quilt block. Once they’re all sewn together they’ll create ONE (1) Square in a Square.)
• White: Cut FOUR (4) 2 1/2″ squares. On the back side of the squares draw a diagonal line, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. (These are paired with the Blue 2 1/2″ squares which will create EIGHT (8) Half-Square Triangles.)
• White: Cut ONE (1)8 3/4″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, TWO (2) times. Will yield FOUR (4) triangles. (These triangles are paired on ONE (1) side by the Blue/White Half-Square Triangles. They’re also paired on ONE (1) other side with the Tan/Green Half-Square Triangles.)
