Choose 4 fabrics -- Light, Medium 1, Medium 2, Dark You will need: Light fabric Section A -- Cut 2 Squares -- 2 5/8", cut in half diagonally to make 4 half-square triangles. Section C -- Cut 4 Rectangles -- 2 1/4" x 4" Medium 1 fabric Section B -- Cut 2 Squares 2 5/8", cut in half diagonally to make 4 half-square triangles. Section E -- Cut 4 Squares 2 1/4" Medium 2  fabric Section F -- Cut 1 Square -- 4" Dark fabric Section D -- Cut 8 Squares 2 1/4" Directions for sewing: (All seams are 1/4 ".) **Pay close attention to the exploded block for placement of pieces. Join the Light Section A triangles to the Medium 1 Section B triangles to make 4 half-square blocks. Position a Dark Section D square, on the corner of a Light Section C rectangle. Draw a diagonal line on the dark Section D square. Stitch on the line. Trim the seam allowance to 1/4 inch and press. Repeat this process at the opposite corner of the rectangle. This will form the flying geese unit. Repeat this process for the other 3 Light Section C rectangles to make three more flying geese units.  See Block 8 for construction of Flying Geese units. Position the 4 Medium 1 Section E squares on the sides of the Medium 2 Section F square. Draw the diagonal line, stitch on the line, trim the seam to 1/4".  See Block 8 for construction of middle square unit. Assembling the Block Sew a half-square block to a flying geese unit, then add another half-square unit. Sew a flying geese unit, to the middle square unit, then add another flying geese unit. Sew a half-square block to a flying geese unit, then add another half-square unit. Sew the units together. Voila, Block Number 9 is now completed! Hope you are enjoying this as much as I am. Only a few more to go. *Note: There are many ways to make 1/2 square triangles, you may wish to use an alternate method than that stated here.
