- Layer a marked light print 3^7 ∕ 8 "
square atop a dark print 3^7 ∕ 8 " square.
Sew together with two seams, stitching
a scant^1 ∕ 4 " on each side of marked
line (Diagram 6). Cut pair apart on
drawn line; press open to make two
triangle-squares. Each triangle-square
should be 3^1 ∕ 2 " square including seam
allowances. Repeat to make four
triangle-squares total. - Lay out center unit, side units,
and triangle-squares in three rows
(Diagram 7). Sew together pieces in
rows. Join rows to make Block A. The
block should be 15^1 ∕ 2 " square including
seam allowances.
ASSEMBLE B BLOCKS
From remaining red print, cut:
▫ 3—2 ×21" strips
From gold print, cut:
▫ 3—2 ×21" strips
From dark brown floral, cut:
▫ 24—1^1 ∕ 8 × 4 3 ∕ 4 " strips
▫ 24—1^1 ∕ 8 × 3 1 ∕ 2 " strips
From remaining indigo print, cut:
▫ 24—4^1 ∕ 4 " squares, cut in half
diagonally to make 48 triangles
(^1) ∕ 4 " on each side of drawn line. Cut
apart on drawn line; press open light
print triangles to make two triangle
segments.
- Referring to Diagram 4, align a
marked light print 2^3 ∕ 8 " square with
medium or dark print corner of a
triangle segment. Sew together with
two seams, stitching a scant^1 ∕ 4 " on
each side of drawn line. Cut apart
on drawn line. Press open light print
triangles to make two Flying Geese
units. Each unit should be 2 × 3 1 ∕ 2 "
including seam allowances. Repeat
with remaining triangle segment to
make four Flying Geese units total. - Repeat steps 4 and 5 to make 12
Flying Geese units total. - Referring to Diagram 5, sew
together three Flying Geese units in a
row. Add a light print 2 × 9 1 ∕ 2 " strip to
make a side unit. Repeat to make four
side units total. - Sew together the assorted medium
and dark print 2 ×16" strips to make a
strip set. Cut strip set into six 2"-wide
segments (Diagram 1). - Referring to Diagram 2, lay out
2"-wide segments, rotating every
other one 180¡ so seams will nest. Sew
segments together to make a center
unit. The unit should be 9^1 ∕ 2 " square
including seam allowances. - Use a pencil to draw a diagonal line
on wrong side of each light print 2^3 ∕ 8 "
and 3^7 ∕ 8 " square. - Referring to Diagram 3, align
two marked light print 2^3 ∕ 8 " squares
with opposite corners of a medium or
