Next up are the

Cutting is on page 46 and 47 of the guide.
I will continue sewing the pieced blocks
in the order that they are in the
My Flying Geese Blocks
are cut and ready to sew!
For these flying geese we are sewing
easy corner triangles.
Sew one side on first...
Trim an approximate 1/4" seam allowance
and press seams open.
Now you can add one on the other side:)
I use my Quilters Water Brush
on this part of the seam so that it
presses completely flat:)
For these blocks use the
2 1/2" x 4 1/2"
Rectangle Trim-It Ruler
to check for size accuracy and or to
trim up if needed!
All trimmed...
Press these seams open as well and use
the water brush on intersecting seams.
I sewed these four green flying geese
the same way and also used the same
2 1/2" x 4 1/2"
Rectangle Trim-It Ruler
Now two of the blocks are finished,
Let's make the remaing two blocks.
These two flying geese blocks are of course
made using the exact same method but
use the 2" x 3 1/2"
Rectangle Trim-It Ruler for these.
Cute!
All four blocks are finished...
And now we will have geese flying in
all different directions in our quilt:)
Look at my design wall!
Here are all of the pieced blocks
all sewn and ready for the quilt.
I'll meet you right back here
on Monday and we will begin
to make the applique blocks.
I can't wait!!
Until then...
have a Quilty kind of day:)
