7 ) Align a marked aqua diamond print
square with one end of a solid white 2^3 ∕ 4 ×5"
rectangle (Diagram 5; note direction of
marked line). Sew on marked line. Trim
seam allowance to^1 ∕ 4 " and press open
attached triangle. Add a second marked
aqua diamond print square to opposite end
of rectangle to make an aqua Flying Geese
unit. The unit should be 2^3 ∕ 4 ×5" including
seam allowances. Repeat to make four aqua
Flying Geese units total.
8 ) Repeat Step 7 using marked black small
floral squares, green dot 2^3 ∕ 4 ×5" rectangles,
and green lattice print 2^3 ∕ 4 ×5" rectangles to
make four green Flying Geese units total.
9 ) Referring to Diagram 6, lay out two
black triangle-squares, one aqua and one
green Flying Geese unit, and two black
lattice print 2^3 ∕ 4 " squares in two rows. Sew
together pieces in rows. Join rows to make
a side unit. The unit should be 5× 91 ∕ 2 "
including seam allowances. Repeat to make
four side units total.
ASSEMBLE SETTING TRIANGLES
1 ) Referring to Diagram 8, sew pink stripe
large triangles to two adjacent edges of a
tan floral 3^5 ∕ 8 " square to make a pink stripe
pieced triangle. Repeat to make a second
pink stripe pieced triangle.
2 ) Repeat Step 1 using tan stripe large
triangles to make two tan stripe
pieced triangles.
3 ) Repeat Assemble Block, steps 6 and 7,
page  23 , using green stripe 2^3 ∕ 4 " squares and
solid white 2^3 ∕ 4 ×5" rectangles to make four
green stripe Flying Geese units.
10 ) Referring to Diagram 7 and noting that
side units with matching green fabrics are
placed opposite each other, lay out corner
units, side units, and aqua large floral 9^1 ∕ 2 "
square in three rows. Sew together pieces
in rows. Join rows to make block. The block
should be 18^1 ∕ 2 " square including seam
allowances.
working with bias edges
The bias edges on the triangles can
warp easily because they have more
stretch than pieces cut on the grain.
Avoid handling the bias edges as
much as possible, use lots of pins,
and consider applying a lightweight
interfacing to the squares before cutting
triangles to help minimize stretch.
