Place a 2 1/2" background square on a corner of a 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" green square with the right sides together and the outside edges aligned.  The drawn line should run from edge to edge of the rectangle.  Sew on the drawn line.  Trim 1/4" from the seam and press.  Repeat on all four corners of each of the four green rectangles.
