INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1. MAKE [80] 4 AT A TIME FLYING GEESE

Draw a diangonal line from corner to corner on the wrong side of the [80] 5 inch background fabric squares.  
Align two of the squares on opposite corners on one of the 9.25 inch print squares with right sides together.
 Sew ¼ inch on each side of the drawn line.  Cut along the drawn line to form two units.  Press open.
Place a 5 inch square with a diagonal line drawn on the back with right sides together on the newly formed units so that the drawn line is going from the section of fabric pressed out to the corner of the unit (see the illustration below).
Sew ¼ inch on each side of the drawn line.  Cut along the drawn line to form two units.  Press open.
Trim the flying geese unit to 4.5” x 8.5”.
Repeat the above steps until you have a total of [80] 4.5” x 8.5” flying geese.  
Note: There should be 4 flying geese of each print so that there is one print for each block.
 

STEP 2. ASSEMBLE THE BLOCK

Make a total of 4 blocks that measure 32.5” unfinished.
Each block will use [20] flying geese and [4] 8.5” x 12.5” rectangles. Refer to the illustration below to assemble your blocks. If desired, assemble each block the with the flying geese in the same places:

STEP 3. ASSEMBLE THE MAIN SECTION OF THE QUILT TOP:

Sew the four blocks together to form the main section of your quilt top with the three stack of flying geese in the center of the quilt. You will rotate each block counterclockwise to create the illusion the center flying out in four different directions.
 
The top should measure 64.5”.
