PlanEach block in this quilt contains 2 different bright prints from the same color family. When selecting the assorted bright fabrics, keep in mind that each block requires 1 piece about 4˝ x 7˝ for the colorful triangles, and 1 piece about 2˝ x 8˝ for the small squares surrounding the center of the block.
