** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
We'll do a different type of speed piecing to make this block, just right for those times when you need multiples of FOUR Flying Geese units! To do this for this size block you need one 5-1/4" square and four 2-7/8" squares of Color 1... |
|
|
...and the same of Color 2... |
 |
Lay two of the Color 2 squares lined up with the top left and lower right corners, right sides together, atop the large Color 1 square. They will overlap a tad. Draw diagonal lines on the backs of the smaller squares. Sew 1/4" on each side of the marked diagonal. Cut apart on the marked diagonal... |

|
Press out the seams on each of the two units made in the previous step. Line up another small square against the larger triangle, again right sides together. Draw a diagonal line on the back of that small square, and again sew a scant 1/4" on each side of the marked line. Cut apart on the marked line again. This gives you two geese. Repeat this with the remaining two pieces. Repeat again with the Color 2 large square and the small Color 1 squares to get fur more in that color arrangement...on to Page 2! |
