Now, using the template provided above, cut four trapezoids from a 2-5/8" x 34" strip of Color 5... |

Using the standard scant 1/4" seam allowance, sew Color 1 and 3 half square triangles together to make four half squares. Press to the darker side. Trim to measure 4-3/4" if needed. Sew the four together to make the block's center pinwheel... |
|

To make the block's corner units, sew Color 2 and Color 4 quarter square triangles together as shown at far left. Press seams to darker side. Make four units like this.
