G. 4 cheddar rectangles 1 9/16” X 4 3/8”, can be trimmed after sewing onto block (see below) or cut 45 degree from bottom left and bottom right, making a truncated pryamid)

2. Sew ! Green #1 rectangles to top and bottom of step #1 unit. This is the center block that will be on-point.
3. Sew E green #2 triangles to F cheddar triangles to make half square triangles (make at total of 12)
4. Sew 3 of the HSTs from step 3 together in a row--repeat to make 4 rows
5. Sew 2 of the units from step 4 to the long green #1 sides of unit from step 2 with cheddar towards the center square.
6. Add 1 F cheddar triangle and 1 E green #2 triangles to ends of remaining 2 units from step 4 (see picture page 276 for placement)
7. Sew units from step 6 to unit from step 5 (opposite sides) to form the saw-toothed ‘border’

Done!
Only one more! I will either be early or late on that one as I’m going to spend Mother’s Day with my children and grands in Sacramento.
