Create the flying geese units. I use the Four-In-One Flying Geese method.  Use the white 3 inch squares and the dark color 5 1/4 inch square. Draw a line, corner to corner, on the wrong side of all the white 3 inch squares.

Lay two small white squares on two diagonal corners of the dark 5 1/4 inch square, right sides together, as shown in the picture. 

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 as shown in the picture.   

Stitch a scant 1/4" from the line.  Cut on the line and press to the dark side. 

Trim down each flying geese unit to 4 1/2" x 2 1/2". 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. 

Repeat with the remaining 3 inch white squares and the two other dark colored 5 1/4 inch square and the light colored . 

You should now have 16 total flying geese but you will only be using 14.

Layout the flying geese and the remaining 2 1/2 inch and 4 1/2 inch squares to match the picture and stitch them together in vertical rows.

Press each row in alternating directions. Then stitch the rows together. Press again.
