  Sew with right sides together and 1/4 ̋ seam allowances.

  Pair a white 21/2 ̋ × 21/2 ̋ square with a colored 21/2 ̋ × 21/2 ̋ square and sew together on the diagonal to make a half-square triangle. Trim the seam 1/4 ̋ from the sewn line (on either side) and press open. Make 18.

  Take 2 of the white/color squares made in Step 1 and place another color square on top of each. Sew together along the opposite diagonal. Press open. Trim the seam 1/4 ̋ from the sewn line (on either side) and press open. Make 2.
