Two 3" squares cut once diagonally
From cream/ecru print cut:
One 2-1/2" square

Two 3" squares cut once diagonally
Constructing the Units:
Make four 2-1/2" UNFINISHED half-square triangles by sewing the
cream triangles to the fall print triangles. Press to the dark side and
square up unit to 2-1/2". Or use another favorite method for half-square
triangles, just to be sure to press to the dark fabric.
Sew the 1-1/2" x 11" strips together, press to the dark fabric,
and cut into four 2-1/2" units.
Follow the construction handout you can download above (PDF) to sew the blocks together.
