Take your 2 squares you cut from fabric 1 and cut on the diagonal to create a total of 4 traingles (2 from each square)

Take both sqaures that you cut from Fabric 2 and Fabric 3 and cut on the digaonal. Repeat on the other diagonal. This will give you a total of 8 triangles (4 from fabric 2 and 4 from fabric 3)
