4. Referring to Diagram 3, lay out
   all of triangle 1 in two sections. Sew
   together triangles in sections; join
   sections to make a block center.
   Referring to Diagram 4, add four
   solid tan triangles to make Block 1. The
   block should be 9^1 ⁄ 2 " square including
   seam allowances.


5. Using all of triangle 2, repeat Step 4
   to make Block 2 (Diagram 5).


6. Repeat steps 1–5 to make seven total
   of Block 1 and five total of Block 2. (You
   will have 16 of triangle 2 left over).

ASSEMBLE BLOCK 3

Block 3 is composed of triangles cut

in opposing orientations from a single

strip set. Because the strip colors and

strip widths are planned, the result is

identical triangles and identical blocks.

1. Referring to Diagram 6 for
   examples, select two to four assorted
   solid brights and/or remaining solid
   cream to create a seven-strip strip set.
   Choose one solid to be in the center of
   the strip set; designate it solid No. 1.
   Determine a pattern for the remaining
   solids that will be identical on either
   side of the center strip. Designate the
   solid adjacent to the center strip solid
   No. 2. The next solid should be No. 3
   and the last solid should be No. 4.


2. Cut solid No. 1 into a 25"-long strip
   that is at least 1" wide but not more
   than 2" wide. From each solid Nos. 2—4,
   cut two 25"-long strips in identical
   widths (1"—2"). The total of the widths
   (without^1 ⁄ 4 " seam allowances) of the
   seven strips should be at least 4^1 ⁄ 2 ".


3. Sew together Step 2 strips in
   planned order to make a strip set
   (Diagram 7). If necessary, trim strip
   set, measuring 2^1 ⁄ 2 " from the middle of
   the center strip (solid No. 1), to 5" wide
   including seam allowances.


4. Referring to Diagram 8, place
   template A atop strip set in orientation
   No. 1. Cut along template edges to
   make triangle 1. Rotate template

180° to orientation No. 2; cut along

template edge to make triangle 2.

Triangles 1 and 2 will be identical.

Continue in the same manner to cut

four of triangle 1 and four of triangle 2

for eight matching triangles total.

5. Referring to Diagram 9, lay out the
   triangles in two sections. Sew together
   triangles in sections; join sections
   to make a block center. Referring
   to Diagram 10, add four solid tan
   triangles to make Block 3. The block
   should be 9^1 ⁄ 2 " square including seam
   allowances.


6. Repeat steps 1–5 to make 20 total of
   Block 3.

ASSEMBLE QUILT TOP

1. Sew together a solid aqua B piece
   and a solid tan triangle to make a
   setting triangle (Diagram 11). Repeat
   to make 14 setting triangles total.
