The Center triangle quilt block is all about sewing your triangles on to opposite sides, turn and sew opposite sides.

FYI: I am a little generous with my cutting of the triangles, you can always cut them, sew and trim, to the 1/4″ seam allowance.

Center Square

Cut your Squares and then triangles as stated in the pattern.
Sew on the top triangle, Trim the ends even.

Note:
sewing the pieces across make the square lay flat, as does trimming the ends.
Sew on the side triangles.
Trim the quilt block making sure to leave the 1/4” seam allowance.
