  • On the wrong side of the 4 small squares, mark diagonal lines from one corner to the opposite corner.

 

  • Place 2 small squares on opposite corners of the larger square, right sides together (RST), as shown.

 

  • Sew scan ¼” on both sides of the drawn line.

 

  • Cut apart on drawn line, press seams toward small squares.

 

  • Arrange a small square on the corner of each of the newly created units.

 

  • Sew scan ¼” on both sides of the drawn line.

 

  • Cut apart on drawn line, press seams toward small square.

 

  • Trim to the size listed in the second column “Trimmed Flying Geese Unit Size” (Be sure there is at least ¼” of fabric between the tip of the flying geese triangle and the edge of the block.)
