Sewing Instructions:

Step 1: With right sides together, sew a Color B (blue) 1-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangle to the left and right sides of a Color C (cream) 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangle as shown below.  Press seams toward the darker fabric.  Make 4 stripe units.

Step 2:  With right sides together, sew a Color C (cream) triangle to the right and bottom sides of a Color A (orange) 2-1/2" square as shown below. Press seam allowances toward the Color A (orange) square and trim points. Make 4.

Step 3:  With right sides together, sew a Color B (blue) triangle to the unit that you created in Step 2 as shown below.  Press seam allowance toward the blue fabric.  Make 4.

Step 4:  Using the illustrations below as your guide, arrange the units. Press seam allowances away from the center unit on the top and bottom rows and toward the center unit in the center row. Sew rows together to finish the block and press seam allowances toward the center row.

Your block should measure 12-1/2" at this point.  It will measure 12" when it is sewn into the quilt.
