INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1. MAKE QUARTER SQUARE TRIANGLES

Using the 5¼” squares, make QSTs. Pair dark blue/light blue squares and dark blue/white squares. Mark a diagonal line on the back of the dark blue squares.  Sew each pair of squares together, ¼” away from the diagonal line on both sides. Cut apart on the diagonal line, and press each HST open. Pair dark blue/light blue HSTs with dark blue/white HSTs and repeat the process to end up with 4 QSTs. Trim each to 4½” square, if necessary.

STEP 2. MAKE SQUARE IN SQUARE

Using the dark blue 4½” square and 4 white 2½” squares, make a Diamond in Square block. Draw diagonal lines on the back of the white squares. Sew white squares on opposite corners of the dark blue square along the diagonal line. Trim corners off ¼” from the seam. Press open, and repeat with remaining opposite corners.
