Instructions:
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 the 2″ dark blue squares 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 the following half square triangles:
(2) Dark purple and light blue
(4) Dark blue and light blue
(4) Dark blue and white
Remember each set of squares makes 2 half square triangles.
Floating Triangles
To make the floating triangles, lay a 1 1/2″ dark purple 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.
Repeat with the 1 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ light blue rectangles and 1 1/2″ dark purple squares. Make 2.
