Needed: 2 - light 5” squares and 2-dark 5” squares: also 8- light 2½” squares and 8-dark 2½” squares. The beginning measurement is a bit different this month so heads up. Cut the 5” squares in half and trim them to 2½” x 4½”. Mark a diagonal line on each of the small squares. Place a light 2½” square on a corner of a dark 2½” x 4½” piece. Sew across diagonal mark, press open, and cut away underneath corner. Repeat the process on the opposite corner. This should produce a perfect flying goose (or is it really geese?) unit. Continue making units using dark 2½” squares on light 2½” x 4½” pieces and  2½” light squares on dark 2½” x 4½” pieces. Bring all 8.
