It's always interesting to see the original pattern.

You can piece this section by sewing small triangles onto the square and then bigger half-square triangles.
Make the pieces oversized and then trim to size after stitching.
You could also do paper-piecing for this section:

Notice that those star points aren't just HALF-square triangles, but are actually (what I call) TRI-square triangles - there are 3 triangles in the one square.
These are easily made by topping an HST with a plain square, drawing your diagonal line across the already sewn diagonal, and sew on each side of the drawn line as you do the HST. When you open, press and trim, you have that tri-square triangle.

If you look in the Tutorials section of this forum, you can find the instructions for making this block (Boston Block). Here is the link http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...rs-t46365.html Although it is a good method and is explained well, I find that this method wastes fabric.
