(This unit should measure 4-1/2" x 4-1/2".)
Step 3: Sew a Color B (brown) 2-7/8" triangle to the right end of a Color C (cream) 5-1/4" triangle as shown below. Press the seam allowance toward the darker fabric. Sew another Color B (brown) 2-7/8" triangle to the left end of the same Colo C (cream) 5-1/4" triangle. Make 4. (Each unit should measure 2-1/2" x 4-1/2".)
Next, sew a Step 3 unit to a Color A (red) 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangle. Press the seam allowance toward the Color A (red) Fabric. Make 4. (Each unit should measure 4-1/2" x 4-1/2".)
Step 4: Sew a Color C (cream) 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" rectangle the left and right end ends of a Color A (red) 2-1/2" square. Press the seam allowances toward the Color A (red) square. Next, sew a 1-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangle to the top and bottom of the unit. Press the seam allowance toward the Colro A (red) square. Make 4. (This unit should measure 4-1/2" x 4-1/2".)
Step 5. Arrange the Step 2 unit, four Step 3 units, and the four Step 4 units as shown below. Sew into three rows and press the seam allowances toward the Step 3 units. Next, sew the rows together to finish the block center. Press the seam allowances away from the center row. Make 1. (This unit should measure 12-1/2" x 12-1/2".)
Step 6: Sew a Step 1 unit to each short end of a Color A (red) 2-1/2" x 12-1/2" strip. Press the seam allowances away from the Step 1 units. Make 2. (This unit will measure 2-1/2" x 16-1/2".)
