Assemble Flying Geese Units

1. Use a pencil or white chalk pencil to mark a diagonal line on wrong side of each dark purple batik 2-1/2" square.

2. Align a marked dark purple batik square with one end of a light purple batik 2-1/2x4-1/2" rectangle (Diagram 1; note direction of marked line). Sew on marked line; trim seam allowance to 1/4". Press open attached triangle, pressing seam toward dark purple batik triangle.

3. Align a second marked dark purple batik square with opposite end of Step 2 rectangle (Diagram 1; again note direction of marked line). Stitch, trim, and press as before to make a Flying Geese unit. The unit should be 4-1/2x2-1/2" including seam allowances.
