			 | Using the templates provided, from Color 1 cut one square and eight
          trapezoids, four in each direction... |  
        
          |  | 
			 | From Color 2 cut four squares, four rectangles, and eight triangles... |  
        
          |  | 
			 | Sew pairs of trapezoids together using a 1/4" seam, and
          stopping at a point 1/4" away from the inside V seam end, shown
          here in green. Backstitch. Sew Color 2 triangles to the sides of the
          trap pair, as shown 2nd from far left. Press seams towards triangles.
          Now sew a Color 2 square to one edge of the inner V, stopping at a
          point 1/4" from the inner edge. Backstitch. Fold the unit right
          sides together, lining up the remaining un-sewn edges. Stitch from the
          1/4" point to the edge of the seam, backstitching at the
          beginning of the seam to secure it. Make four corner units like
