"Ok. Once you have all your squares, you should have your four different colors. And, four squares of each. You're going to decide where you want them to fall into pattern. This is my back color. This is my outside color. So, I have to make sure that whatever I put this with isn't what I want right here. It has to be one of these colors. Because, of the way we're going to do the pattern. So, I'm going to go ahead and take this one. Then, I'm going to pick this color. Because, I know I don't want it towards the center I like it kind of out. So, I'm going to take them put them facing the right sides facing each other. Then, I'm going to go ahead and pin it. And, if you have one side that is a little squarer than the other I would use whichever side looks the most square as the side that you're going to want to use for the front. Then, you go ahead and take your straight line and we're going to go corner to corner. Mine doesn't quite go corner to corner, because it's short. But, I can see about where it would go. I like using a pencil, because it doesn't bleed into the fabric. And, it always washes out just fine. And, that's how you do that part."
