Make Flying Geese Units
The patchwork units sewn to the sides of the nine-patch center are single quick pieced flying geese units.
- Select a dark-cool rectangle and two light neutral squares. Draw a line from corner to corner on the back side of each square.
- Align a marked square with the end of a dark rectangle, right sides together and the diagonal line as shown. Sew on the line. Trim away the excess fabric that extends past the seam, leaving a 1/4" seam allowance. Press to set the seam. Flip the light triangle right side up and press.
- Repeat to sew another square to the opposite side of the rectangle, taking care to position the second square as shown. Make a total of 12 identical units.
