Ok Now here are some things to consider

Swatch sizes will depend on the size of template you are using. I will figure out the differant sizes and post it here tomarrow.

When you choose your fabric pay attention to the value of your fabrics. You will need a dark a medium and a light. You need to have fabrics that will stand out against the other fabrics. Each one needs to stand out seperately for the pattern to show up well.

When you join the triangles you need to match the seams as accurately as you can. This will make your quilt block look better.

After you cut the squares into triangle you will have a half of the square leftover. This half can be used as another version of the wings block only this one will have a sharper angle. I did include some designs in my Ebook.

When you have made your blocks you will have some leftovers. These can be pulled apart and reused to make more blocks.

The right way

The wrong way! The seams need to match.
