Flying Geese

The Flying Geese quilt block contains all triangles. But you'll make this block using squares and rectangles. How is that possible? I'm going to show you exactly how it's done.

What You Need

Place the light strip on the cutting mat. Cut four
3 ½" x 3 ½" squares.

Step 3

Arrange shapes like this:

---

Step 4

Place a light square on left corner of each rectangle. Right sides together. Edges even. Stitch on drawn line.

---

Step 5

Trim seams to ¼".

---

Step 6

Press seams toward dark fabric.

---

Step 7

Place a light square on right side of each rectangle. Right sides together. Edges even. Stitch on drawn line.

---

Step 8

Trim seams to ¼".

---

Step 9

Press seams toward dark fabric.

---

Step 10

You now have two 3 ½" x 6 ½" units.

---

Step 11

Flip Row 1 onto Row 2. Right sides together. Edges even. Stitch using a scant ¼" seam allowance.
