You can make it the way others have shown it, however, they do not take into consideration the extra row of flying geese on the outside blocks. If you make it that way, you would have to add flying geese to the setting triangles.

OK, this has worn me out. I'm happy with our rendition of the block.
It took me awhile to figure out what you meant about the setting triangles. Now I get it - thanks for showing me the flaw in my quick pattern.

So, I tried just doing the one side & bottom, then making it into an entire quilt, and came up with the same problem!

Finally I found if we did a setting triangle, it works. We would then need make corner setting triangles with 2 sets of the side geese.

my reworked block doing only side & bottom

to make up the missing piece in the setting triangle

top is right using new block, but sides still wrong

but, if use the first block, with only single geese on all 4 sides, then add setting triangle...
