Block 5 - "Indiana Puzzle" block  External link opens in new tab or windowLink  The May Block of the Month  (Special Note:  This is a 9" block, made of 9 3" segments, 3 segments per all 3 lines. However, to make it into a 12" block, enlarge those segments to 4" each.  So, to make a half square triangle (this block has 9 of them), cut your squares 4 7/8" or 5" and trim to size.  On the center segment, get some graph paper, draw a 4" square, mark the center point on all 4 sides, and draw lines to make a square in a square.  Cut out the square and one of the half square triangles and draw around them and add your 1/4" seam allowance to all sides. )
