Later: Oh my gosh....too many sites!
I drew out on graph paper what the block looked like finished at 12 inch. I traced this onto freezer paper and then I cut out the pieces and added 1/4 inch seam to all sides. I did some playing with the pieces to determine any short cuts and this is what I ended up with:
Here are some simple instructions for each block
Cut four: floral print is a 4 and 3/4 inch square. Piece "A"
Cut one: yellow center is a 3 inch square cut on diagonal and then cut again to yield four triangles. Piece "C"
Green: 8 triangles... cut one 3 inch square on diagonal and then cut again to yield four triangles, Piece "C"
AND cut two: 3 inch by 10 inch pieces. from these you will cut the leaves similiar to the diagram.

These two rectangles will yield 4 of piece "B" (leaves) and four more green "C"
The triangle in the center is a 45 degree cut. If you lay two of the little green triangles in the middle of the rectangle you will see where to make your cuts. This gives you the other four green "C" triangles needed .
Cut 4: Background is a 4 inch square cut in half on the diagonal. "D"
NOTE: I always cut my pieces a tiny bit larger (1/16 inch) than the seam allowance on the pattern piece so I have a little trim if needed.
For block make four of Unit one : "A" with a yellow triangle "C" on the north corner, two green "C" on opposite corners (east and west). [The seam is 1 1/4 from the floral corner if that helps in pinning. ]
Make four Unit two : two "D" and one "B" pieced into a large triangle.
Of course, If you PM me your address, I'd be happy to send you a copy of what I have.
