Chock-A-Block Wednesday

Dutchman's Puzzle

I'll be flying in and out of Amsterdam

a few times in the next few weeks so

this block seemed appropriate.  I hope to

 see windmills and tulip fields from the air.

Fabric Requirements:

Fabric A: White

16 - 3 1/2" squares - Mark

a diagonal line on back.

Fabric B,C,D,E: Red, Green Blue, Yellow

2 - 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" rectangles

of each color

Make Flying Geese Units:

Place 3 1/2" square on left side of

rectangle with right sides together

and sew a thread width above drawn

line to accomodate the fold of the

fabric.  Press seam to the corner and

trim back 2 layers of fabric to 1/4".

Repeat process to right side of

rectangle.  Square to 3 1/2" x 6 1/2".

Do this to all rectangles, making 8

in total.

Pair rectangles as shown and sew together

taking care to have precise points.

Square to 6 1/2".

in 2 rows.  Press seam in row 1 to the right
