Flying Geese Units
A great method for speed piecing Flying Geese units one at a time. 

 

Step 1

Image

You will need 1 rectangle (the length of the geese unit + 1/2in ) x 
(the width of the geese unit + 1/2in)
AND 2 squares  (half the length of the geese unit + 1/2in).

Step 2

On the back of each square, draw one diagonal line.

Step 3

Image

Place a small square on top of the left corner of the
rectangle, right sides together. Sew on the diagonal line.
Trim back 1/4in from the seam line leaving the
rectangle intact underneath.

 

Step 4

Press the remaining triangle over the seam to
cover the left hand corner of the rectangle.

Step 5

Image

Repeat this process with the other square on the
other end of the rectangle. Trim as before.

Step 6

Press the half triangle back over the seam
to cover the corner of the rectangle underneath as before.
