Directions:
Step 1
To start, you’re going to need white and white and two dark contrasting color squares. Next, draw a diagonal line on the back of all of the white pieces. Now, line the white pieces to the colored squares and sew a 1/4″ seam on each side of the line. After sewing, cut directly on the line, then press towards the darker color. Repeat these until you have eight pieces of each colored square. Next, sew one tiny colored square on the corner of every white block diagonally.

Step 2
Once you have sewn all the little blocks, snip off the excess seam and press open. Now, take them in pairs and sew them together. Repeat this, then sew two pairs to create a block. After you have your blocks, sew four together to create one big block.
