Well...I'm back from my adventures to the Pacific Northwest, and while it's so very nice to travel, it's oh so nice to be home! I've finally unpacked all of my stuff, and I sure hope to get some time to sew over this long holiday weekend! You, too?? Well....here are your next two blocks, just in time for those extra days off.
Here's your cutting instructions for Part Seven:
Light Print
*Cut (8) 2" Connector Corner squares
Pink Print
*Cut (1) 2" square
Blue Print
*Cut (4) 2" x 3 1/2" rectangles
Directions:
Draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of all (8) 2" light print Connector Corner squares. Pair with the (4) 2" x 3 1/2" rectangles to make (4) Flying Geese that should measure 2" x 3 1/2" unfinished.
Arrange the units for the block as shown. The construction for this type of block is a bit different than usual, but not difficult at all.
With right sides together, sew a Flying Geese unit to the center pink square. Sew a seam only 1" in length, then stop. Finger press to the Flying Geese unit.
Sew a Flying Geese unit to the top of the previous unit. In all cases, press to the Flying Geese.
Continue in the same manner, sewing the third and fourth Flying Geese units to the pink center square.
Fold the first Flying Geese unit right sides together, and align the raw edges, to sew and complete the seam, and finish the block. Your block should measure 5" unfinished.
