triangle over and press. See Diagram


  1. Repeat to make another three units
    exactly the same.


3


Repeat Step 2 to make another
of these units, but this time
orient the diagonal line on the 3½in
square as shown in Diagram 3. Then
repeat to make another three units
like this.

4


Draw a diagonal line on the wrong
side of all the 3½in squares cut
from Fabric #2. Match one of them,
right sides together, with a rectangle of
solid fabric. Stitch on the line, trim the
corner ¼in away from the stitching, flip
the triangle over and press.

5


Then match another 3½in
square with the other end of
the rectangle, stitch, flip and press to
make a Flying Geese unit, as shown
in Diagram 4. It should measure 3½in
x 6½in from raw edge to raw edge.
Repeat to make another three
Flying Geese.

6


Draw a diagonal line on the
wrong side of all the 3⅞in
squares of Fabric #1. Match each
of them, right sides together, with
a 3⅞in square of solid fabric. Sew a
scant ¼in on either side of the line, cut
the fabric on the line and press the
seams towards the darker fabric. See
Diagram 5.

7


Lay out the units you’ve made,
along with the 6½in square of
Fabric #2 and the remaining light
blue triangles in five rows, as shown
in the Green Mountain Star Block
Layout Diagram. Don’t add the solid
quarter-square triangles to the
layout – put them aside for the time
being. Double check the orientation
of all the pieced units.
