Pattern notes:

Seam allowance is ¼in unless noted otherwise.
WOF = width of fabric: assume 18in x 21in for Fat Quarter (FQ), and 9in x 21in for Fat Eight (FE).

Fabric Requirements:

(25 blocks + corners set on point \| 4 1/2in unf. block size)
Color A (cA) = Khaki	1 FQ
Color B (cB) = Denin	1 FE
Color C (cC) = Gold	1 FE
Color D (cD) = Garnet	1 FQ
Color E (cE) = Monarchs	1 FE
Color F (cF) = Forest	1 FE
Backing	2/3 yd
Binding	1/4yd
Batting	26in x 26in

Cutting instructions:

Color A = Cut (2) 4 1/2in x WOF; sub-cut (8) 4 1/2in squares.
Color B = Cut (2) 2 1/4in x WOF; sub-cut (16) 2 1/4in squares.
Color C = Cut (2) 4 1/2in x WOF; sub-cut (6) 4in squares (Cut these squares ONCE in half on the diagonal); AND cut (2) 2 1/2in squares.
Color D = Cut (4) 2 1/2in x WOF; sub-cut (16) 4 1/2in x 2 1/2in rectangles.
Color E = Cut (3) 2 1/2in x WOF; sub-cut (18) 2 1/2in squares.
Color F = Cut (2) 2 1/2in x WOF; sub-cut (16) 2 1/2in squares.
Binding: Cut (3) 2 1/2in x WOF strips.

Block construction:

First, draw a diagonal line on the back of all Color B (2 1/4in squares).
Using the stitch and flip method, align (1) Color B square right sides together on (1) corner of each Color A squares. Sew on the line. Cut 1/4in far from the seam, flip the tip and press.
Repeat this method on (8) triangle parts of Color C fabric as well.
