Mystery Quilt Part 6

Half Geese Blocks

Combine 4 bg fabric rectangles 3 ½” x 6 ½” and 4 fabric B squares 3 ½” x 3 ½” to make 4 bg/B right hand-half flying geese blocks (bg/B RH half geese blocks) 3 ½” x 6 ½” using steps a.-b.

a. Place a fabric B square 3 ½” x 3 ½” on the right hand side of the bg fabric rectangle 3 ½” x 6 ½”, right sides together. Draw a diagonal line using a removable marking device on the back of the fabric B square (shown as the solid line).

b. Sew along the marked line. Trim ¼” from the seam line and press open or towards fabric B. Repeat to form a total of 4 bg/B RH half geese blocks 3 ½” x 6 ½”.

Repeat step 1 using 4 bg fabric rectangles 3 ½” x 6 ½” and 4 fabric C squares 3 ½” x 3 ½” to make 4 bg/C right hand-half flying geese blocks (bg/C RH half geese blocks) 3 ½” x 6 ½”.

Combine 4 bg fabric rectangles 3 ½” x 6 ½” and 4 fabric B squares 3 ½” x 3 ½” to make 4 bg/B left hand-half flying geese blocks (bg/B LH half geese blocks) 3 ½” x 6 ½” using steps a.-b.

a. Place a fabric B square 3 ½” x 3 ½” on the left hand side of the bg fabric rectangle 3 ½” x 6 ½”, right sides together. Draw a diagonal line using a removable marking device on the back of the fabric B square (shown as the solid line).

b. Sew along the marked line. Trim ¼” from the seam line and press open or towards fabric B. Repeat to form a total of 4 bg/B LH half geese blocks 3 ½” x 6 ½”.

Repeat step 3 using 4 bg fabric rectangles 3 ½” x 6 ½” and 4 fabric C squares 3 ½” x 3 ½” to make 4 bg/C left hand-half flying geese blocks (bg/C LH half geese blocks) 3 1/2″ x 6 ½”.

Reserve the remaining 4 bg fabric rectangles 3 ½” x 6 ½”, these will be used as is in the quilt top.
