Assembly:

Draw a diagonal line from corner to corner on the backside of each of the white half square triangle (HST) 7″ block squares.

For each set, lay the marked 7″ square on the unmarked 7″ square, right sides together. Assemble as follows:

•  24 White and 24 Green 7″ squares yields 48 HSTs.
•  16 White and 16 Blue 7″ squares yields 32 HSTs.
•  4 White and 4 Black 7″ squares yields 8 HSTs.

Sew a 1/4″ seam on each side of the diagonal line.

Cut on the diagonal line.

Press the half square triangles and trim evenly to 6½".

Following the diagram below, sew the sections together and the sections into a quilt!
