Step 5:
Get one red strip. Place it on top of the block with the right sides together and sew on the edge of the orange and beige squares. Trim off the excess fabric. Next, sew another red strip on the edge with the three colors and cut it into a block.
Step 6:
Rotate the block so that the red corner is pointing down. Get 2 pieces of the beige squares and draw a line diagonally on each piece. Place them on the left and right corners on top of the red with the line in a vertical position. Sew both of the lines. Once done, get a ruler and cut the corners of the left and right triangles with a 1/4 inch allowance. Press the seams open.
Step 7:
Position back the block with the red corner pointing down. Get one green strip and place it on the red right bottom fabric of the block with the right sides together. Sew the edges and trim the excess. Do the same for the left bottom.
Step 8:
Draw a diagonal line on the remaining beige squares. Place the two remaining 2″ squares on the left and right corners of the green fabric. Sew the line and cut off the triangle corners with a 1/4 inch allowance. Press the seams open. Trim off the excess threads and fabric from the block and you are done.
