Instead of plain 4" corner blocks, make your 4" corners of 4-2" blocks for a 4-patch corner block.
Go to 2011 BOM #2 STARS--PICTURES and on page 1, Judy has posted a picture (1/2 way down page) using half square triangles instead of the plain corner blocks. On page 2, Jerry has shown a three-color block using 1/2 square triangles in a different way, giving, I think, an entirely different look to the block.
Combinations of all 3 ideas could be used together in a quilt.
