Thank you, this helps me with most of it. Maybe I'm just really obtuse but I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to cut the two little triangles that sit next to the quarter triangle. I don't know how to paper piece and am just getting really frustrated I've been tinkering with this all morning and not getting anywhere. Can anyone tell me exactly how to do those triangles? When that center side block is finished, it should be 4.5 inches.

Edited - this way there are no y-seams, but I haven't made it so I don't know how difficult it is to line everything up. I think I will try it later...
