Sorry for your problems. I wish I had the pattern, but I don't. A piece of advice that I don't always heed is to read all the pattern before you cut any fabric. This is one time that would really have come in handy for you.
The interesting thing is that not all the parts from the other pattern are included in your cutting directions. This pattern, also, does not include your 4 patch as such. If this was me, I would lay out all the pieces you have cut to see what you are missing. The block is a 10" finished block. This makes it simpler. Your center should be cut as a 2 1/2" square which when sewn will be 2". You will need additional 1 1/2" squares to sew for the center star points that are attached to the 2 1/2" background squares surrounding the center.
You will need to build each 2" segment and then sew them all together in rows. Hope this helps some. I drew the block out in EQ7. Thought you might like to have a clear picture of what your center looks like.
