Creating the Background

Make (4) Flying Geese Units:

Use the (1) 4 1/4” square from Fabric #3 and (4) 2 3/8” squares from Fabric #2.

Draw lines from corner to corner on the wrong side of your 2 3/8” squares.

Place (2) 2 3/8” squares on opposite corners of the 4 1/4” square from Fabric #3. Your diagonal lines on the Fabric #2 create one diagonal line from corner to corner. There will be a slight overlap in the center where the (2) smaller squares meet.

Sew a scant 1/4” from the marked guideline on both sides. Cut apart.
