Might seem easier to do.
Rhonda, I love making the wing block, and I will keep making them. I used the paper templates. I cut out each template and then I pin them to my fabric pieces. Then I cut around each template. I found this way being easier for me to do. Then I sew the pieces together and use my hard template to cut out the square. I also, use the star point templates the same way.
