3-1/2" squares. Cut the Color 3 3-1/2" x 14"
strip into four 3-1/2" squares...

To make one flying geese unit, place a Color 2
square right sides together atop a Color 3 rectangle, with outer edges
aligned. On the back of the top square lightly mark the diagonal. Sew
on this diagonal marking. Cut off the excess seam allowance. Press the
remainder towards the corner. Repeat this with another Color 2 square
on the other end of the rectangle. Make four of these...

Now lay out all units as shown at left. Sew three
horizontal rows, pressing the top and bottom row seams to the
center, and the middle row seam to the outside. Sew the rows
together and you are all done with your Sawtooth block!
Good Job!
