I'm back these are disappearing 4 patch cut diagonally. It is very close but not quiet there.
Don't look to closely one is cut wrong but you get the idea.
I will keep trying be back soon I hope.

Back look cut diagonally both ways. You get these 4 new triangles. Fitting two together mDakes half pin wheel so you would need 2 4patches. And cut both the same and make two large pinwheels. Before you join the centre line decide on size of small square pls allowances and cut off join the little square from another pinwheel in centre of big one. Will need yseam .
Finish by joining the centre of bis triangle.
Look at photo and cut in your minds eye. Good luck to my hopeless instructions.
