Please forgive me as I described the block incorrectly. Rather the center triangle of the flying geese type block is the part that gets raw edged appliqued on. And, only on the two sides of it. The bottom is still anchored in a 1/4" seam. So you see many of the sections are sewn like a traditional block. It's all the cool, unique, more complex ones where the raw edge applique method is used. As Angelia said, close up pictures of the finished quilt would have really helped.
I'm probably overthinking this as it is an adorable pattern and no disrespect to the designer of it and the beautiful fabrics. These raw edges will lend texture and a primitive look that goes with the style of this quilt (as long as they don't loosen up over time.) Still wish the outside would have said something like fast short cut raw edge method to give clues that this is not traditional piecing and closeups of the technique as I feel misinformed not knowing anything about it prior to reading the pattern inside.
