Dark red:
Cut three 3½" squares

White:

With right sides together, pin one 3 7/8" (large) medium red square and one 3 7/8" (large) white square together, draw a line down the center from opposite corners, stitch ¼" on both sides of the line and then cut between the stitches.
Do the same for the other 3 7/8" medium red square and the 3 7/8" white square.
Do the same for the two other sets of large dark red squares and white squares.
Looking at the top row of the sample, correctly pin the squares together and stitch. Stitch the remaining rows as seen. Then stitch the rows together.

Keep in mind:
Use 100 % cotton fabrics for the block.
Wash the fabrics before cutting the quilt pattern. Do not use fabrics that bleed or run.
Stitch all seams ¼".
Press seams toward the dark fabric unless the pattern dictates otherwise.
