Inspired by relaxing with friends on a lazy summer afternoon, porch swings, iced tea and laughter, Summer in the Country is here.  Using Back Porch by Me & My Sister Designs, this collection will be in shops in August.

YIELD

12" finished block

INGREDIENTS

From Fabric A, Cut:
(36) 2½” squares

(18) 2½” x 4½”  rectangles of various prints

If using yardage for background fabric, cut (3) 2½” x WOF strips of fabric. Cut into (36) 2½” squares.

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Flying Geese

Draw a diagonal line on the back of each 2½” x 2½” background fabric squares. Place a background square right sides together on the right hand side of a 2½” x 4½” print rectangle. Sew along the line and trim ¼” away from the seam. Press out. Repeat on the left hand side, creating a fl ying geese block.
