For lesson one, I just cut fabric shapes and glued them to the printed pattern.
For the star parts, I cut 4 strips 4-1/2" x 1-3/8" and made a template out of plastic for the shape of the star.

Because we need 4 diamond shapes and 4 reversed diamond shapes, I stacked 4 with right sides up and 4 with right sides down then used the template to cut the angles and get the 8 shapes I needed.

To get the background triangles I cut a 4" x 4" square and cut it in quarters. To get the background corner squares, I cut four 2" x 2" squares.
