The first cut is in half in both directions, right across the crisis cross.
Next, cut it diagonally in both directions.

Square each piece to 4 1/2.
Open and iron all the small squares.
Step 6:
Put two squares together where the green triangles form a bigger triangle.
Sew them together to make one big block.
Make 27 pieces more of this block for a total of 28 pieces.
Cut 8 1/2 strips for the background.
The length for each layer will have 4-inch increments.
