- Cut square once diagonally to make 2 half- square triangles.
Cut 2, 2-7/8” squares
**Note only choose Twist 1-A or Twist 1-B do not do both.
Twist 1-A
Fabric A
Cut 16, 2-1/2” squares.

Fabric C
Cut 2, 2-1/2” x 4-1/2” rectangle.
Place a 2-1/2” square on top of the rectangle right sides together and sew on the folded line. Cut away the extra part of the square, leave the rectangle intact. Sew another square onto the rectangle, to make a flying geese segment as shown. Press triangles out.
Repeat the step above for the 2 Fabric A rectangles.
Sew Fabric A, flying geese units together with 2, Fabric B flying geese, to form 2 units. Sew remaining flying geese units together, as shown.
