I designed this block for a monthly challenge as an Island Batik Ambassador. That project used 6" blocks, so I made this into a 12" block. This is a paper piecing block and you can find the pattern here. You will follow this tutorial, which you can find at https://kathyskwiltsandmore.blogspot.com/2017/06/tutorial-foundation-paper-piecing.html?m=1. You will make 4 of these blocks and put 2 on top and 2 on bottom.
Your will need 2 fat quarters each of 3 colors and 1/4 yards of white or cream.
Your finished block will look like this:
It is going to measure only about 12" unfinished. I goofed up and have not had a chance to fix it.

I like your tip about making 1 finished block first to use as a guide for the rest. Thanks for sharing!
