charisstomaQuilt Size: 76" x 81"
• 2 Packs of 5" Squares
• 3 3/4 yds. Background Fabric
• 1 1/2 yds. of Border Fabric (cut to make 6" border)
• 2 1/2 yds. of Backing
Layer a 5" square and a 5" background fabric square right sides together and sew around all the outside edges. Cut diagonally from the corners. = 4 half square triangle squares. 'Square up' these to 3". Sew these together to make the geese. = 2 geese. Sew 4 geese in a row.
You need 3 geese assemblies per row.
Cut Background fabric same width as the geese blocks (5 1/2"). and 12 1/2" long.
You need 3 background fabric lengths per row.
Sew alternately; geese unit and background fabric unit. Then sew the 2 ends together into a loop.
Fold lengthwise randomly and cut on fold in one of the background units. Do this for all the rows at various places. Leave 4 of the rows as originally done without sewing into a loop.
Sew 3 of the rows with the background fabric unit to the other end of the row.
Arrange so the geese strips all point the same direction and sew rows together.
Sew border.
Sew 14 rows.
