Sew 1/4” away from each side of the drawn diagonal line (Fig. 1). Cut the two squares apart on the drawn diagonal line (Fig. 2) to make two 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" half-square triangles (Fig. 3). Repeat to make forty-eight 3-1/2" red/black half-square triangles.

Make sure the center seam is going in the same direction on both half-square triangles and the yellow triangle in the top block is opposite from the yellow triangle in the bottom block (Fig. 7). 4. Draw a diagonal line across the top half-square triangle so that it goes through the sewn seam. Sew 1/4" away from both sides of the drawn line (Fig. 8).
