allowances. Sew with right sides

together unless otherwise stated.

Press seams in directions indicated

by arrows on diagrams. If no direction

is specified, press seam toward darker

Designer Candy Hargrove prefers

to make Flying Geese units and

triangle-squares larger than necessary,

then trim them to size. To use this

method for Flying Geese units, cut

medium or dark print 4^1 ⁄ 2 " squares

instead of the 4^1 ⁄ 4 " squares specified

here and light print 2^1 ⁄ 2 " squares

instead of 2^3 ⁄ 8 " squares.

For triangle-squares, cut light

print 4" squares instead of the 3^7 ⁄ 8 "

squares specified here and dark print

4" squares instead of 3^7 ⁄ 8 " squares.

The following instructions result

in one Block A. Repeat cutting

and assembly steps to make nine

A blocks total.

prints, cut:

▫ 6—2 ×16" strips
