Then you take those six triangles & lay them out & turn them until you get the design you like. There is a book that I have called One-Block Wonders by Maxine Rosenthal. You can also search on youtube for one block wonder & find many helpful videos. The best thing is to ask here, these ladies really know what they are doing, unlike me.
