NOTE:
These instructions
give the formula for making Flying Geese units and do NOT give
a
particular cutting size. Just remember that the width of the
finished
unit is always twice its height.
Size to cut
squares:
Fabric A:
Finished
width of desired geese unit + 1 1/4" (1.25)
Fabric B:
Finished
height of desired geese unit + 7/8” (.875)
 |
From Fabric
A, cut ONE (1)
______ square
From
Fabric B, cut FOUR
(4) _______ squares |
 |
With right
sides of fabric
together, lay two of the smaller squares on the larger square, as
shown.
Using a ruler, draw a light pencil line diagonally from top left corner
to bottom right corner. |
 |
Stitch a
scant 1/4 inch
on both sides of the drawn line. Cut apart on the center drawn
line.
Note:
If your
machine does not have an accurate 1/4 inch foot, draw your stitching
lines
using a ruler and pencil.
|
 |
Press seams
toward Fabric
B. Draw a diagonal line on wrong side of smaller square. With
right
sides together, lay one of the marked squares on the sewn unit
and
stitch 1/4 inch on both sides of drawn line. Cut apart on drawn
line.
Repeat with the remaining unit and the remaining smaller square. |
Press your 4
geese units
