Notes: WOF means Width of Fabric. A 1/4" seam is assumed. This pattern uses a Large Flying Geese Ruler by Quilt-in-a-day to make Flying Geese blocks.
Suggestion: If you cut all your fabric ahead of time, put your pieces into bags or envelopes marked with their block number. That way you won’t get them mixed up.
