The best way to sew this quilt block together is to star with the special elements together first (Half-Square Triangles & the Nine-Patch). Then sew the FOUR (4) rectangles together. Next sew the upper THREE (3) sections together, same goes for the center section & the bottom section. Finally sew all THREE (3) sections to each other!
