Sew

Create the flying geese units. I use the Four-In-One Flying Geese method. Lay two small white squares on two diagonal corners of the large square, right sides together.

Draw a line, corner to corner, on the small squares, then stitch a scant 1/4" away from both sides of the line. 

Cut on the drawn line and press to the dark side. 

Next, match another small square into the corner of the large triangle. 

Draw a line from the corner to corner of the small square, as shown in the picture.  Stitch a scant 1/4" from the line on both sides. 

Cut on the line and press to the dark side. 

Trim down each flying geese unit to 3 1/2" x 2". Make sure you stay 1/4" away from the top point of the flying geese so you don't loose your point when you sew it. 

Next, make the half square triangles.

On the back of the white squares, draw a diagonal line, corner to corner.  Pin the blue square to the white square, right sides together. 

Stitch on both sides of the drawn line, a scant 1/4 inch away. Cut on the drawn line, and press to the blue side.

Trim them to be 3 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches each. You should have four. 

Stitch together groups of four flying geese so all the points in the group are facing the same direction. 

Then, layout the rest of the block and stitch it all together. Press.
