Keep on reading or watch the video below for full instructions.
Lay them right sides together, then draw a diagonal on both sides from corner to corner.
Sew a quarter of an inch on both sides of the lines.
Once done, cut directly on the drawn lines, then in the middle in both directions.
This will give you 8 half square triangles.
Press them open toward the darker fabric.
Trim them if needed.
You only need four for each block.
Step 2:
Make the flying geese.
Take one piece of 2 1/2 by 4 1/2 white rectangles and two pieces of 2 1/2 printed squares.
Fold the squares in half diagonally and press to make a crease.
Trim 1/4 inch away from the seam and press it open.
Repeat with the other side.
You need 8 pieces of flying geese.
Sew them in pairs, just lay one on top and sew on the long side.
The points must be pointing in the same direction.
Place the 4 1/2 background square in the center.
Sew them in rows first.
Once done, sew the rows together.
You need 5 across and 5 down.
For the sashing, it will be the same size as your block.
For the cornerstones, you need 36 pieces of the 2 1/2 squares.
