Sewing Instructions:
Step 1:
Using a ruler and a pencil, draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of
all Color B (blue) 2-1/2" squares, Color C (cream) 2-1/2" squares, and Color C (cream) 1-1/2" squares.
Step 2:
With right sides together, place a 2-1/2" Color C (cream) square on the upper right corner of a Color A (lt. orange) 4-1/2" square. Sew along the drawn line and trim excess fabric 1/4" inch above the seam. Press seam allowance toward the corner. Repeat in the lower left corner using a Color B (lt blue) 2-1/2" square. Repeat Step 2 three more times for a total of four diagonal units.
Step 3: With right sides together, place a 2-1/2" Color B (blue) square on the right end of a Color C (Cream) 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangle. Sew along the drawn line and trim excess fabric 1/4" inch above the seam. Press seam allowance toward the corner. Repeat on the left end. Repeat Step 3 three more times for a total of four flying geese units.
Step 4: With right sides together, sew a 1-1/2" x 4-1/2" Color C (cream) rectangle to the top and bottom of each flying geese unit. Press seam allowances away from the flying geese units.
Step 5: With right sides together, place a Color C (cream) 1-1/2" square in the upper right corner of the Color B (blue) 4-1/2" square. Sew along the pencil line and trim excess fabric 1/4" above the seam line. Repeat in each of the remaining corners as shown below and press the seam allowances towards the corners.
Step 6: Using the block image at the top of
the page as your guide, arrange the nine block units. Sew them first into rows,
pressing the seams of the top and bottom rows away from the center and the seams of
the middle row toward the center. Sew rows together to finish the block and
press seams toward the center.
Your block should
measure 12-1/2" at this point. It will measure 12" when it is sewn into the
quilt.
