First we'll make four diagonal half squares with the hot pink and purple 3 7/8 inch squares. (You can find directions with diagrams for making diagonal half squares by following this link.) Use one hot pink and one purple square for each pair.  Next we need four flying geese units using the background rectangles and 3 1/2 inch hot pink and purple squares. To make your job a little easier, draw a diagonal line through the hot pink and purple squares.  Lay a hot pink square right sides together with a background rectangle, with the diagonal line running as shown here. Sew right on that diagonal line. Trim off the excess, leaving a z inch seam allowance. Press to the background.    Repeat this same step again with a purple square on the other side of this same unit. Press to the background. Make sure your rectangles still measure 3 1/2 by 6 1/2. This is called a flying geese unit.   Repeat this same step with the remaining rectangles, pink and purple squares. You need four flying geese units.
