3D Flying Geese Tutorial


The next three posts will be showing you how to make three dimensional blocks with the first one being the flying geese.  Any size will work but we will use the following dimensions for this tutorial.

Fabrics needed;

Two 3 1/2" squares of the background fabric
One 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" rectangle that will become the triangle portion of the block. 



Fold the rectangle in half short sides together and wrong sides together.  Lay the folded rectangle on a background square with raw edges to the top, folded side down.  Lay the other background square on top right sides together and stitch down the right side.



When you open the sewn unit it should look like this.  Turn the block so that the folded side of the rectangle is to the top.


Place your finger into the opening of the rectangle and spread it open.  This will give you the flying geese unit.


Press flat and there you have it.


The next post will be the three dimensional pinwheel.
