Time to make the flying geese units! Place a Color 3 square right sides together atop a Color 1 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 3 square on the other end of the rectangle. Make two geese in the same manner. Make two more using Color 2 rectangles. Then make two similar units using a Color 1 square on only the right end of a Color 3 rectangle, and then two more using a Color 2 square on one end only of the remaining two Color 3 rectangles... |
