Shall we begin? <wave>

two background squares/ 1 square for the geese
[ATTACH=CONFIG]2007[/ATTACH]

Cut the goose fabric one time on the diagonal, corner to corner
[ATTACH=CONFIG]2008[/ATTACH]

place triangles, right sides together on the upper right hand corner of one background square
[ATTACH=CONFIG]2009[/ATTACH]

prepare to now add a second left goose
[ATTACH=CONFIG]2010[/ATTACH]

stitch on the upper part and right hand side of the goose
[ATTACH=CONFIG]2232[/ATTACH]

cut diagonally across both fabrics from the upper right to lower left corner
[ATTACH=CONFIG]2233[/ATTACH]

Be sure that you keep the bottom of the goose going up
[ATTACH=CONFIG]2234[/ATTACH]

I trimmed the bottom off ... this time, I very fortunately actually ended up with a 1/4" joining at the bottom ... I have not always been that blessed! LOL
[ATTACH=CONFIG]2236[/ATTACH]

open up your geese so that the background is on the bottom. You will notice a definite left and right side
[ATTACH=CONFIG]2300[/ATTACH]

place the bottom of the right side goose to the tip of the left goose
[ATTACH=CONFIG]2301[/ATTACH]

right sides together, you will stitch down the right side of the left goose, keeping seams of goose going up
[ATTACH=CONFIG]2302[/ATTACH]

good idea to snip off the little dog ears before stitching so you have definite corners to stitch from
[ATTACH=CONFIG]2303[/ATTACH]

Notice - - you will be stitching with the background on top this time ... take care to insure that the goose seams keep going up
[ATTACH=CONFIG]2304[/ATTACH]

right sides together, you will be stitching down the long side of the background fabric. The right goose will be on the top
[ATTACH=CONFIG]2371[/ATTACH]

Press the left goose open
[ATTACH=CONFIG]2372[/ATTACH]

Prepare to add the next right goose
[ATTACH=CONFIG]2373[/ATTACH]

This is the back of the piece, note the bottom of the geese going "up"
[ATTACH=CONFIG]2374[/ATTACH]

Open up the right goose and prepare for your next goose from the left
[ATTACH=CONFIG]2453[/ATTACH]
