To make the flying geese units, place a Color 2 small square right sides together atop the left end of a Color 3 rectangle, with 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 center. Repeat this with another Color 2 square on the other end of the rectangle. Make four Flying Geese units like this, and four more using Color 1 squares...now ...on to Page 2! |
