Clue #2 (Regular & Scrappy)

5.  With right sides together, place (2) White 3 7/8" squares on top of the

      7 1/4" Red square as shown. (Pin if necessary).

                                               

       Using a ruler, draw a light line diagonally from top left corner to right bottom

    corner.  Stitch a scant ¼” on both sides of the drawn line. Cut apart on the

    center drawn line.   

                               Press seams toward White.

6. Draw a diagonal line on wrong side of another White 3 7/8" square, and with right sides together, lay the marked square on the sewn unit and stitch 1/4" on both sides of drawn line, as shown below. Cut apart on seam. Repeat with remaining unit.  Flip and press.

HINT: Before making all your Flying Geese units, stop now and measure your units.

They should measure 3 ½” x 6 ½”.  If your units do not measure this size, re-adjust

your  ¼” seam, and/or needle position.  It is very important that your units measure

3 ½” x 6 ½”.
