For block 2:

cut 10 squares 2.5" from the background fabric

cut 2 squares 4.5" from the background fabric

cut 6 squares 2.5" from fabric 1

cut 6 rectangles 2.5" x 4.5" from fabric 2

layout and sew together as shown





Each block should measure (approximately) 12.5" square when to this point.
If you have any questions, I will try to answer them in the comments once again.
I hope you all are having fun with this!
I've added a flickr group here for the quilt-a-long.
