Making the block
1. Using 3-3/16" and 1-7/8" light and red squares make four

flying geese units. Click here for flying geese tutorial.
Your blocks should measure 1-1/2" x 2-1/2", including
seam allowances.

 in each row together. Join the rows alternating seams at intersections.

adding 1-1/2" x 6-1/2" strips to top and bottom of block. 

4. Layer block, batting and back together. Machine or hand 
quilt. Important note - Once your block is quilted trim to
