I was playing with what I think is the periwinkle block - and variations thereof.

Maybe the attached drawings will help?

The center four-sided shape is made of a HST with a triangle added to it. One can change the proportions and get different looks.

I like the idea of using fewer pieces (and fewer seams) as shown in the second scan. This would make a great hand-piecing project.

This really is not answering the original poster's question, because I do not know exactly what template(s) she is using.
