Block 2

Cut two squares in different prints, 5″ x 5″. Place the squares’ right sides together and pin. After this, sew around the square using a 1/4″ seam allowance. Cut the square from corner to corner, both diagonally, then trim the corners. Then, trim half square triangles to 3″ x 3″. Lay them in pinwheel form, then sew accordingly. The finished size of the block would be 5″.
