Assemble:
STAR
Sew 4 of the Red squares into a 4 patch. If using 2 other colors, arrange in pinwheel.
Lay the 'legs' of the star so the Red half is against the center Red 4 Patch and the Whites meet in the center (flying geese). Do this for all 4 sides.
Put solid White squares at corners. They should be the same size as the finished half square triangles.
