The block is another classic.
It is a simple design made up of squares and flying geese and can be very effective in a quilt.
Cutting Instructions:
For the four flying geese, cut:
To make the Flying Geese:
Draw a diagonal line on the back of the eight 2½” squares.
Set one square on top (right sides together) of the rectangle.
This is easier to sew if you start at the center of the rectangle rather than at the corner.
Make sure edges are even, and
Set a square on the other end of the rectangle (right sides together), and again
Sew the three rows (as in diagram at top), using a ¼” seam allowance throughout:
Now sew the three rows together, taking care to match seams.
Now you are done - Congratulations!!
