Nicely done ccbear66. Great color selection.
I can see two ways to do this. Paper piecing is probably the easiest and most accurate.
1.) Take a piece of paper. Draw a 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 square on it.
2.) From the lower left corner, draw a line diagonally to the upper right corner.
3.) 1/2 way up ( 3 1/4 inches from the bottom line) draw a line straight across the big triangle on the lower right.
4.) Mark a point on the bottom line 1 3/4 inches from the left hand point. mark another point 1 1/2 inches from that point to the right.
5.) On the line you drew half way up, mark a point 1 3/4 inches from the long diagonal. Connect the two points together that are 1 3/4 inches away from that long diagonal line.
6.) Mark a point on the halfway up line 1 1/2 inches from the first point you placed on that line. Connect the point on the bottom line with that point.
7. Mark the lowest right corner triangle 1, the next stripe over 2, next one over 3, then the top triangle 4.
Make 4 copies of this pattern. Make a matching pattern for the other half of the quarter pattern going the opposite way. Make 4 copies of that pattern too.
Paper piece them in the order of the numbers you put on the drawings.
Put two matching 1/8s together to make a square.
You should come up with 4 squares, each 6 1/2" square. Put together for a 12 x 12 inch square.
