To answer the clamouring call for a tutorial on the block I posted a few days ago (actually one person asked me the block's name and I'm looking for diversion....) please find below a tutorial!
As far as tutorials go, it's pathetic. But you should be able to get the block made okay.
From cream fabric, cut five 3.5" squares and four 3.5" x 6.5" rectangles.
From coloured fabric, cut twelve 2" squares, and eight 3.5" squares.
Stitch the two inch squares into two units of two squares, and two units of four squares.
Stitch the two unit block to top and bottom of one of the cream squares and press.
Stitch the four unit block to either side of cream square and press. Block should now measure 6.5"
Make flying geese using the stitch and flip method and the cream rectangles and 3.5" squares of coloured fabric.
I have kept the trimmed away triangles, to make yet another UFO.
I've assumed a basic knowledge of this step, but let me know if you want help.
On two of the flying geese, stitch a 3.5" cream square at each end.
Stitch a flying geese block to either side of larger block previously made (forgot to take a photo of that!).
Stitch a the remaining units to top and bottom of block and press.
Bob's your uncle! Block should measure 12.5" when complete. Don't be a dolt and use too light a fabric (as I have done in the bottom right - that yellow print isn't showy enough). Choose medium to dark fabrics for your coloured blocks.
And that's it! Enjoy! See you soon!
