Quilt Top Assembly
Piecing the Blocks and Strips
NOTE: To make Flying Geese segments, align
a light 1 1/2" square along the left edge of a dark 1 1/2"
x 2 1/2" rectangle. Draw a diagonal line on the light square from
lower left corner to upper right corner (see Diagram I-A). Sew on drawn
line, cut off excess seam allowance, and press out (see Diagrams 1-B
and I-C). Repeat steps on right half of rectangle (see Diagrams II-A,
II-B, and II-C).
Use the same technique when making star points for Sawtooth
Star Blocks, the only variations---reversal of light and dark and cut
size of segments on the smaller Sawtooth Stars.

Step 1 ... To
make Flying Geese Strips, sew 23 geese from 1 1/2" x 1 1/2"
light squares and 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" dark rectangles. Referring
to Diagram III, make 2 strips of 7 geese each and 1 strip of 9 geese.

Step 2
... Referring to Diagram IV, make 2 large Sawtooth Star blocks. Star
point segments are made from 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" dark squares
and 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" light rectangles. Sew blocks together
to make a rectangle (see Diagram V).
