Use the same technique that you would a Bow Tie block.
There is nothing like making a quilt and starting another at the same time using the triangles you cut off the rectangle.
The appliqued square is one thing I like about this pattern and it gives it some dimension. I used a blanket stitch on my machine to do the applique. You could also use a decorative stitch; however, none of these fit the modern look of the fabric.
