I cut the pieces out as specified in the directions but the dark pink triangles are too small for the yellow triangles...I recut with some more fabric, same results...the dark pink triangles are too small.
Could this be a pattern mistake, or am I doing something wrong? :) ANYTHING with triangles confuses me so I usually stick to rectangles and squares....but have to learn sometime! Thanks so much for any help...
You could try cutting 4 yellow rectangles that are 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" and 8 pink squares that are 3 1/2" x 3 1/2". Draw a diagonal line on all the pink squares. Place a square at one end of the rectangle and sew ON the diagonal line. Iron the square triangular flap out towards the corner. I trim out both of the layers underneath the top triangle, but you could leave the bottom-most layer. Repeat on the other 3 rectangles. Then sew the other 4 squares to the other end of the rectangles and press/trim as before. This is just another way to make flying geese units.
