Default Help! My math skills are abysmal for this !!!

I want to do a tessellation quilt, and I found one that I really like.

http://waynekollingersquiltblog.blog...to-ponder.html These are the two blocks that I need to make.



If you scroll down, you can see the four different blocks that you need to make. It's not really that hard when it broken down. Or so I thought!

I have two set of strips. The strips were cut at 2 inches each.

I then cut them into the triangles they needed to be:

but now, when I try to put them together to make a square, I get this: (yes, I know it's upside down, I haven't cut out all my triangles yet, because I ran into this dilemma!)

For the life of me, I can't figure out how to cut them. It looked so easy in the picture! Does anyone have any ideas? And, yes, feel free to laugh at my math skills!

Thanks a bunch,

Marion
