Thanks everyone for the kind compliments. I've never had a quilt go together so quickly or easily, which makes me really love this pattern!

It really was easy!! The green squares to make the four patch units are made of 2.5 inch squares. I sewed a light and dark green square together, sewed two of those together and got a four-patch. For the white section, cut a 4.5-inch square. Take a 2.5-inch red square and draw a line on the back from one point to the other (this will give you a diagnal line across the sq.). Lay this, right sides together, at the top of the white square and sew along the line, then iron the red square toward the edge. Do this to the other side and you will have a white piece with flying geese at one end. I hope this makes sense!

And that is all you have to do. Then you simply sew the white and red unit to a four patch unit and the points come out perfect! Well, they come out perfect as long as you are careful about sewing a quarter inch seam. :lol:
