Piece:

1. For each quarter block, select one each A, B, and C, plus 2 D triangles. (See diagram).
2. Join two of the 2 7/8" squares together to form 4 half square triangles. (place the light square on top of the dark square, draw a diagonal line and sew a 1/4" seam on each side of the line. Cut the square in half between the two stitching lines and press toward the dark triangle.)
3. Join half-square triangles together in pairs, sewing light sides to dark sides as shown in diagram A.  Join one extra D triangle to light end of each pair. Press toward dark fabrics.
4. Sew 1 half-square triangle unit to 1 leg of B triangle. Press
5. Join A triangle as shown to complete quarter block.
6. Join four quarter blocks for each block. Join units in pairs, sewing A triangle of unit 1 to D triangle-square edge of second unit.
7. Join pairs as shown to complete a block
