One simple block makes so many great layouts.

A "quarter square log cabin" block.
The sewn squares can be rotated for different patterns, after sewn as she instructed

That could be made easier if you used two strip sets. One dark, white, dark another med, whte med. Place the strip sets, right sides together and cut squares. Then, sew on the diaginal to make half square triangles.
