Block Assembly

Lay out all of the block pieces, as shown below. You will have: 4 – 4″ background squares, 4 – 1.5″ x 5.5″ background strips, 2 – vertical striped flying geese, 2 – horizontal striped flying geese, and 1 – large improv strip square (5.5″).

Start by piecing the 1.5″ x 5.5″ strips to the flying geese. Press seams.

Sew the 4″ squares to the sides of the flying geese units for the top and bottom rows. Sew the flying geese units to the right and left sides of the 5.5″ strip unit.

Sew rows together, and press seams. Repeat with the rest of the blocks. There will be 16 blocks in total.
