Arkansas Crossroads is a four patch block that uses four patch and hour glass subunits. It is not symmetrical as a block which means that when repeated in a quilt design the layout can give lots of variations based on chevrons, diagonal lines and diamonds. Such blocks are best when set edge to edge rather than with sashing between the blocks.
To draft the block start with a four by four grid.
Four of the squares need to be turned into half square triangle units to make hour glass subunits.
like this
These subunits are placed in the top right and bottom left quadrants.
Fabric Junction did a You Tube video on a single block for a pot holder
