Measure carefully, cut and sew carefully, and you won't have any problems. You will be making all diagonal squares for this block. First, mark your background squares diagonally through the center. (This will be a cutting line when you are finished.) Place your blue square, right sides together, with the background. Sew on either side of the drawn line, exactly 1/4 inch from the first line. Cut this square in half on the cutting line. You will now have two diagonal half-squares, which should measure exactly 3 1/2 inches. Repeat with the remaining squares. You will need: Eight blue and background diagonal half squares             Four dark green and background diagonal half squares             Four light green and background diagonal half squares Now assemble as shown here.             This pattern can be used for personal use only and can not be used commercially without the owner's permission.
