Sewing Instructions:
Step 1:
Using a ruler and a pencil, draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of
all Color A (lt. orange) 2-1/2" squares.
Step 2:
With right sides together, layer
a Color A (lt. orange) 2-1/2" square in the upper right corner of a Color C (cream)
4-1/2" square and sew on the diagonal line that you drew in Step 1. Trim away
excess fabric 1/4" above the stitching and press seam toward Color A (lt. orange).
Repeat on the lower left corner, pressing seam toward Color A (lt. orange). Repeat
three more times for a total of four corner stripe units.
Step 3: With right sides together, layer
a Color A (lt. orange) 2-1/2" square in the upper right corner of a Color C (cream)
4-1/2" square and sew on the diagonal line that you drew in Step 1. Trim away
excess fabric 1/4" above the stitching and press seam toward Color A (lt. orange).
Repeat on each corner in the following order: lower left, upper, left,
and lower right. One center unit made.
Step 4: With right sides together, layer
a Color B (blue) 2-1/2" square on the right end of a Color C (cream)
2-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangle and sew on the diagonal line that you drew in Step 1. Trim away
excess fabric 1/4" above the stitching and press seam toward Color B (blue).
Repeat on the left end, pressing seam toward Color B (blue). Repeat
three more times for a total of four flying geese units.
Step 5: With right sides together, layer a 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" Color C (cream) rectangle on a flying geese unit and stitch together along the longest side. Press the seam allowance toward the Color C (cream) rectangle. Repeat three more times for a total of four B/C outer geese units.
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.
