For each block, cut THREE (only two shown) random navy/blue 5-1/4" squares. Cut these on both diagonals to get four quarter square triangles from each. Also, cut THREE white/ background 5-1/4" squares into quarter square triangles. Cut NINE 2-7/8" (2 shown) white /background squares and cut them each in half to make half square triangles. Also cut NINE random blue 2-7/8" squares and make half squares. If you prefer make six copies of the PP template and skip all this cutting) ... |

To make the geese, sew white half square triangles to the blue quarter square triangles in a 1/4" seam. Press to dark sides. These should measure 2-1/2" x 4-1/2". Do the same with white quarter square triangles and blue half square triangles... |
