One more Random Sampler filler - a flying geese variation

I love flying geese, they should be in any sampler and in mine for sure. I made a variation to make it measure 3 x 6 inch finished (3 1/2 x 6 1/2 inch unfinished)

Cutting instructions:
For some reason I cannot sew very precise when sewing triangles. I think you should be able to make the block using 4 inch squares, but I prefer them a little bigger and then cutting the block back afterwards.
For making two blocks, cut:

• Color 1 (redish checker): one 4 1/4 inch square (or 4 inch if you think you can do it with no waste). Cut in half diagonally.
• Color 2 (red cross): one 4 1/4 inch square (or 4 inch if you think you can do it with no waste). Cut in half diagonally.
• Color 3 (greenish stars): one 4 1/4 inch square (or 4 inch if you think you can do it with no waste). Cut on both the diagonals to get four triangles.
• Color 4 (blue loops): one 4 1/4 inch square (or 4 inch if you think you can do it with no waste). Cut on both the diagonals to get four triangles.

So no you have 4 bigger triangles and eight smaller ones. Lay them out into your block:

First sew the four triangles together to form a bigger triangle. Use the blue triangle as a center piece and sew on the right and left triangle, add the upper one last.

Cut of the dog ears and sew on the bigger triangles. Iron them and trim back if necessary.

You can scatter them over the random sampler to fill gaps, or make a partial border with them. Hope you like them, see you soon!
