Jewel Box Block.
The twelve inch Jewel Box Block is made up of 8 four patches, that will be made into 4 eight patches, and 8 half square triangles. The block will be divided into thirds. Directions 1. Choose your fabric. I used a variety of fabrics for the four patches and the same 2 fabrics for my half square triangles. 2. Make your eight half-square triangles. These units should be 3 inches finished. There are many ways to make a half square triangle,
