Size to cut squares for:

To make 4 flying
geese, you'll need 1 large square (fabric A) and 4 small ones
(fabric B). Example: 4" by 2" geese would need a
large square 5 1/4", and small squares 2 7/8". Lay
2 of the small squares in opposite corners,right sides together,
draw a diagonal line through them, and stitch 1/4" on
each side of the line.

Cut apart on
the line, and press seams toward the smaller triangles.

Draw a diagonal
line on wrong side of each smaller square. With right sides
together, lay one of the marked squares on the sewn unit and
stitch 1/4 inch on both sides of drawn line. Cut apart on
drawn line. Repeat with the remaining unit and the remaining
smaller square.

on the diagonal lines, press, and you have 4 geese. WOW!
Fast and painless!
