Four hourglass units, each turned a quarter from its neighbours, so the dark triangles form a pinwheel at the centre and another around the edges.
Buckeye Beauty
Two large half-square triangles and two four-patches; the dark squares line up into a diagonal chain from corner to corner, framed by the light halves of the triangles.

Sixteen half-square triangles: pairs along each edge make eight star points, the corners are triangles, and the centre four units form a pinwheel.
Bow Tie
Two tie squares on one diagonal and two background squares whose centre corners are stitched-and-flipped in the tie fabric, so a small square knot forms where they meet.
Road to Oklahoma
A four-by-four grid with a chain of dark squares from one corner to the opposite corner, crossed by pairs of dark half-square triangles near the other two corners; a four-patch sits in the middle.
Hovering Hawks
A four-by-four grid of plain squares and ten half-square triangles whose seams all run the same way; two groups of five dark triangles face each other across the diagonal.
