Material List
Sewing machine or hand needles
thread
scissors
rotary mat & cutter
a couple yards of fabric x 4 from your own stash :)
pins
Pretty much your basic sewing supplies!

"Sew", lets begin.......

After printing off your PDF pattern/instructions, gather the four fabric choices & follow along with how to cut.

All seam allowances are a 1/4" unless noted!

You will need: 4~5.25" x 5.25"squares of Color A

                              2~2.5" x 4.5" strips of Color B

                              2~2.5" x 8.5" strips of Color B

                        2~5.25" x 5.25" squares of Color C 

                          1~ 4.5" x 4.5" squares of Color D

                       6~5.25" x 5.25" squares of Color D

Then take your 5.25" x 5.25" squares & match up your color combinations:

~4 Fabric D/ Fabric A combos

~2 Fabric D/ Fabric C combos

Place them right sides together, & draw your line diagonally from top corner to bottom corner. Then pin in place. Take to your machine & line your presser foot edge to the line & sew a 1/4" seam down both sides. Repeat for other squares until all have been sewn.

Next, take your Color D 4.5" square, with right sides together, pin, then sew the Color B 2.5" x 4.5" strips to the top & bottom of your square. Press your seams toward the sewn strips.

Then, you will sew Color B 2.5" x 8.5" strips on the right & left sides of your square, with right sides together. Again, press your seams toward the sewn strips.

Be sure to follow along with the PDF that you printed, on how to lay out your squares to make this beautiful block.  Of course the square from the strips sewn together is center & then all of your squared combos are going around it.
After you have it in the design needed, you will then go row by row of sewing them together. Make sure that you keep it all organized!! As I said in Block #1 tutorial, you can use post it notes, index cards cut up or what I did was to take a sharpie & wrote 1-4 & A-D on my flat head flower pins. Anyway you can keep it right, please do so!
The PDF instructions will also show how to press your seams in the direction needed to reduce bulk
