Assembly

  1. Assemble the 2 5/8 inch squares as a nine-patch.

  2. Sew the triangles to the edges, as shown.

Your finished (unfinished) block should measure 9 1/2 inches.  Be sure to leave the seam allowance on the block, DO NOT cut it to the nine inch finished size -- as the “finished” measurement represents the block size after it is sewn into a quilt top.
