Peach print
… 1 strip 1 9/16″ x 7″
… 2 squares 2 3/8″ x 2 3/8″, cut diagonally to make 4 half-square triangles (Piece A)

Green print
… 1 strip 1 9/16″ x 7″
… 2 squares 2 3/8″ x 2 3/8″, cut diagonally to make 4 half-square triangles (Piece A)
… 2 squares 3″ x 3″, cut diagonally to make 4 half-square triangles (Piece B)

Piecing the block
Step 1. Using Diagram I as a guide, piece together Green print 1 9/16″ x 7″ strip to Peach solid 1 9/16 x 7″ strip. (Repeat for Peach print and Peach solid strips) Press seam allowances toward dark fabric. Sub cut pieced strips into 1 9/16″ x 2 5/8″ rectangles. Sew rectangles together to make 4 four-patch units.

Step 2. Using Diagrams II, III, and IV as guides, make square-in-square units beginning with the 2 3/8″ half-square triangles (Piece A). Sew Piece B half-square triangles (3″) to unit. Complete the quadrant (Snail’s Trail Block) by sewing Piece C half-square triangles (3 7/8″) to unit.
