5 minute block
I, too, watched the video and she does show 3 equally sized pieces of fabric, but that did not turn out for me. I cut mine 6 1/2 x 4 1/2 and it did not turn out like hers in the video. So, I pressed the block and cut off the 1 inch that overlapped and it turned out well. I still can not figure out how she did the 3 equal pieces of fabric and made it work??? Below is my version that I am working on.

Looks the same as two of the one seam flying geese units sewn together. Ricky Timms shows in detail how to make it and isn't selling a book about it because it's an old English method that has been around forever how to make the bow tie design. The ten minute block is a spin off of this and this 5 min block seems to be a spin off of the 10 min block.

so easy to follow. Good Luck

I saw that first by Ricky Tims, he called it a one seam flying goose. Looks pretty simple. I am try to figure out the 10 minute block. I have watch the video on u tube may time but it just hasn't sunk in yet.

Here's the link to that discussion. Look on page 4, post 35...

But I haven't tried it yet, so I could be wrong. I'm going to look for the Ricky Timms tute.
