For a square quilt measuring finished 46" x 46"

18 geese per panel and 6 panels (colours across)

You need:

5 - 6 1/4" squares per colour (total of 30 squares) cut in half across the diagonal. (you will end up with an extra 1/2 at the end)

54 - 5 7/8" squares for background (white in my case)

3 - 3 1/2" squares in background for ends (white in my case) cut in half across the diagonal.

This method does rely on accurate cutting and sewing so take your time and the results will be worth it :o)

Take one colour triangle and match it right sides together with a square of background. Match up the corners and let the dog ears of the triangle hang over the edge. Sew 1/4" seam down the 2 legs of the triangle.

With a ruler cut the sewn unit in half across the diagonal as shown.

Carefully press open the 2 triangles creating a left and right unit.

You can start to see how they will fit together…

Repeat for all the colours.

Unpick one unit of each colour making sure they are all the same either a left or a right. (put background pieces to one side)

Starting with the triangle that you just unpicked sew to a unit (below is a video by Deb Tucker that clearly shows this step at about 4 minutes in)

You are sewing from the bottom up. Now mixing up the placement of each colour as you go sew the left and right units as shown.

Make sure to match the pointy triangles ends for accurate piecing.

When you get to the top you use the extra background piece that you had from the start to sew to one side and then the HST made from the 3 1/2" squares for the other side to square off the end.
