Some encouragement for you, Smg...if you have made three quilts already, the flying geese will be a breeze!! :-)
I agree with thimblebugs's statement above. Just take your time and practice a few using the method she described. For a beginner, I think this is the most straight forward method. You may need to square them up a bit when you are done and just be sure that you keep your 1/4" seam allowance above the point of the big triangle.
You can do this and you will be so proud of yourself!
