IF YOU ARE USING AN EASY ANGLE RULER

4.    Cut 1  2 ¾ inch Strip Width of Fabric

b.    OR!!!  If you are super scrappy  - you can cut these out of your leftovers from the 9 ½ and 10 inch blocks.

IF YOU ARE NOT USING AN EASY ANGLE:

Cut 4 - 3 1/8 inch squares and Cut them on the diagonal for 8 *wings*

Background Fabric (or funky teal in my quilt)

1.    Cut  4 – 10 inch strips width of Fabric

                                             I got 14 squares from my strip, and used the scrap from the large squares to cut the last two.

IF YOU ARE USING THE COMPANION ANGLE

4    Cut  2 – 2 ¾  Strip WOF

a.    Sub Cut into 8 pairs of *Geese* using your Companion Angle Ruler

IF YOU ARE NOT USING A COMPANION ANGLE RULER

Cut 4 – 5 11/16 inch squares –Cut along the diagonal both ways ( so you come up with 8 pairs of *geese*

:

You should have this cut from your Dark #1 

And this ( over to the right) from your Background 

Step #2

Take 6 of your 10 inch background squares and 6 of your 10 inch Dark #1 squares. Draw a diagonal line on the back of your background square. Stitch 1/4 inch on each side of the drawn line, Slice.  Press

You will have 12 – 9 ½ inch Half Squares

Step #3

Grab 4 (or 2 pairs) of your Background *Geese* and the 4 pairs of Dark #1 Wings.

Stitch them into flying geese. Your geese should measure 2 ¾ x 5 inches

Take the 1 Dark 5 inch square and 4 of the background 2 ¾ inch squares

Lay them out like this and stitch together.

At the end of this clue – you should have one 9 ½ inch Sawtooth Star, and 12 - 9 ½ inch half squares.   The extra's that you have cut will be used for future clues - so save them ;-)
