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, all Color C (yellow) 2-1/2" squares,
and all Color C (yellow) 4-7/8"
squares. (Note: this step
was corrected on 12/10/06.)
Step 2:
With right sides together, place a Color C (yellow) 2-1/2" square
on the right end of a Color B (blue)
2-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangle.
Sew along the drawn line and trim
excess fabric 1/4 above the seam. Press
seam allowance toward the Color C (yellow)
fabric. Repeat on the left end
of the rectangle to finish the flying
geese unit. Repeat Step 2 three
more times for a total of four flying
geese units.
Step 3: With
right sides together and using a 1/4"
seam allowance, sew a flying geese unit
to a Color A (lt. orange) 2-1/2"
x 4-1/2" rectangle as shown below.
Press the seam allowance toward
the Color A (lt. orange) fabric. Repeat
once more for a total of two.
Step 4: With
right sides together and using a 1/4"
seam allowance, sew a flying geese unit
to a Color C (yellow) 2-1/2"
x 4-1/2" rectangle as shown below.
Press the seam allowance toward
the Color C (yellow) fabric. Repeat
once more for a total of two.
Step 5: With
right sides together, layer a Color
B (blue) 2-1/2" square in the upper
right corner of a Color C (yellow) 4-1/2"
square. Sew on the drawn line
and trim excess fabric 1/4" above
the seam. Press the seam allowance
toward the Color B (blue) fabric. Repeat
in the lower left corner. Repeat
Step 5 once more for a total of two.
Step
6:
With right sides together, layer
a Color B (blue) 2-1/2" square
in the upper right corner of a Color
A (lt. orange) 4-1/2" square.
Sew on the drawn line and trim
excess fabric 1/4" above the seam.
Press the seam allowance toward
the Color B (blue) fabric. Repeat
in the lower left corner. Repeat
Step 6 once more for a total of
two.
Step
7: Layer a Step 5 unit on
a Step 6 unit, right sides together
and matching up the Color B (blue corners.
Sew a 1/4" seam on BOTH sides
of the line that was drawn in Step 1.
Cut
apart on the drawn line and press the
seam allowance toward the darker fabric.
Repeat once more for a total of
four corner units.
Step 8: Using
a rotary cutter and ruler, cut the Color
A (lt orange) 5-1/4" square and
the Color C (yellow) 5-1/2" square
twice diagonally as shown below:
Step 9: With
right sides together, sew a Color A
(lt. orange traingle to a Color C (yellow)
triangle along a short side as shown
below. Press seam allowance toward
the darker fabric. Repeat once
more for a total of two Color A/C triangles.
Step 10: Sew
the Step 9 triangles together as shown
below. Press the seam allowance
to one side.
Step 11: 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.
