Step 5. Sub-unit #2
Using Diagram V as a guide, place Piece 1E 1 1/2" x 6 1/2" strip, 2 square-in-a-square units, and one four-patch unit as shown. Sew units and strip together to make sub-unit #2. Make 4 total.

Step 6. Pieced Square Sub Unit
Draw a diagonal line on wrong side of Piece 3C 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" gold squares. Layer Piece 3C square and Piece 1C 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" cream square, right sides together. Sew 1/4" offset from each side of the drawn line (Diagram VI-A). Cut sewn squares diagonally using unsewn corners as guide (Diagram VI-B). Yield 2 sets of triangles. Cut each triangle set on previously drawn line (Diagram VI-C). Press seams toward gold triangles. Yield 4 sets of quarter-square triangles. Using Diagram VI-D as a guide, place triangle sets so that there are alternating gold and cream trianlges. Sew together to form pieced-square. Make 4 total.
