This is a very easy improve block that Helen shares with us. She starts with two x 9" squares, but larger would work too, and then just slices through!
As you sew the pieces together, so you will end up with wonky edges. At the end you just trim up to create a perfect square.

The pattern is available to buy from Helen's website.
Have fun!
