  4. Create a flower-like pattern

Step 2: Aligning the Edges

  1. Look at the side color of each white edge
  2. Match it with the corresponding center
  3. Turn the top face to align the edge
  4. Flip the edge down with an F2 move

Step 3: Completing the Cross

  1. Repeat for all four edges
  2. Check that all side colors match their centers
  3. Verify the white cross is complete
