Step 2:

Cut an 11 by 11 background fabric.

Place it on top of the colored square measuring 11 by 11, right sides together.

Draw a diagonal line in both directions on the wrong side of the fabric.

Sew 1/4 away from both sides of the two lines.

Once done, cut the square into half two times to make 4 squares.

After that, cut each piece on the drawn line.

Now you have 8 half square triangles.

Open then trim each one into squares.

Step 3:

Cut a 2 3/4 strip WOF from the background fabric.

Cut in half to make two strips that are 2 3/4 by 21.

Step 4:

Sew the colored and white 2 3/4 strips together on one edge.

Once done, open and press it .

Cut 4 pieces of 5 squares from the unit.

Step 5:

Arrange the blocks just as shown below.

Sew them together and press flat.

Repeat the same process and make another block but alternate the colors to make positive and negative Grecian squares.

Step 6:

Cut both blocks in half twice to get four-quarter pieces on each one.

See the photo below for reference.

Repeat for the other block.

Sew them together to make a four-patch.
