Next, place a Color 1 square right sides together against one corner of a Color 3 square. Mark the diagonal on the back of the small square and sew on this line. Cut off the excess seam allowance, pressing the remainder towards the corner triangle. Make two units like that... |
| Now sew a Color 3 quarter square triangle to each side of the pentagon unit, pressing seams towards triangles. Add a Color 1 medium half square triangle to this pieced unit. Piece these four units as shown in the illustration above... |
