Half Square Triangles
Mark the back of the 2″ white squares diagonally from corner to corner. Use this as a guide to make half square triangles. Layer with each 2″ light blue square and sew 1/4″ from the drawn line. Cut on the drawn line to make two half square triangles.
Size the half square triangles to 1 1/2″ each.
Make 8.
Floating Triangles
To make the floating triangles, lay a 1 1/2″ dark blue square on the end of a 1 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ white rectangle and sew from corner to corner. Use the assembly diagram to check the direction of the angle.
Make 4 of each direction, 8 total.
Square in a Square
Mark the back of the 1 1/2″ light blue squares diagonally from corner to corner. Lay the 1 1/2″ light blue square in the corner of the 2 1/2″ white square. Sew on the drawn line. Cut 1/4″ on the outside of the drawn line. Press. Repeat for the other three corners.
