How do you do that?

I'm doing a sampler from the quilt shop and they have us using a big square, put two smaller squares on opposite corners, sew on either side, cut in half, press and then put another small square on the piece left, sew, trim and voila. Except I had to make a bunch of practice ones. The method is the second one on this tutorial. First sentence is "now for our favorite quick method that yields 4 flying geese blocks with no waste!"

This is the link I tried to reference earlier. I've done a few already super easy and little waste.
