Draw a diagonal line from corner to corner on the backside of one of the half square triangle (HST) 9″ block sets as follows:

•  16 Background and 16 Salmon 9″ squares yields 32 HSTs.
•  4 Background and 4 Lt. Salmon 9″ squares yields 8 HSTs.
•  4 Background and 4 Lt. Sage 9″ squares yields 8 HSTs.
•  2 Background and 2 Sage 9″ squares yields 4 HSTs.
•  8 Salmon and 8 Lt. Salmon 9″ squares yields 16 HSTs.
•  2 Salmon and 2 Lt. Sage 9″ squares yields 4 HSTs.

For each set, lay the marked 9″ square on the unmarked 9″ square, right sides together. 

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 8 1/2″.

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