The first problem is that the pattern prints out too small. It is 6" with the seam allowances, and should be 6" without the seam allowances. So the first file is a pdf with the correct sizes.
The second problem is that the cutting directions are for the undersized block. The will work, but it is tight. So, Colour 1 - cut 1 - 6 1/2" square - Cut 4 - 4 3/4" squares, cut in half diagonally. Colour 2 - cut 4 - 3 1/4" squares. Background - Cut 4 - 3 1/2" squares - Cut 2 - 5 1/2" squares, cut diagonally twice.
