That leads me to my question.
I do mine as two squares over a rectangle. I sew the center seam of the square for the geese, then before trimming off the 'waste', I draw in the 1/4" seam allowance, then sew another seam 1/4" from that line. Now I have a goose unit and two HST's, prepped & ready to go!
