From red print, cut:

  • 2-4-7⁄8" squares, cutting each in half diagonally for a total of 4 triangles

Assemble the Block

1.  Sew together one white print triangle and one red print triangle to make a triangle-square (Triangle-Square Diagram). Press the seam allowance toward the red print triangle. Repeat to make a total of four triangle-squares.
