Next add the navy strips and repeat the trimming at the corners
You should have a 2 7/8" Sq in a Sq

Now on to the Flying Geese sections
You will repeat these steps for 4 Flying Geese and each section
has two Fllying Geese in it. If you have a favorite way to make these FGs then feel free to use that instead.

You might notice that the bottom of the white triangle is not as wide as the original but I couldn't seem to work out how to get it to do that. Mine are not off that much and I don't think it is too noticable.

Start by cutting a white swatch and 2 dk strips for borders
Add these two to 2 sides of the white. You can cut a square white piece so as to have a straight edge to sew to.
You can sew 2 more borders on the other two sides and you will be able to cut out two FGs out of this unit.

Now use your ruler and position it so you measure 1 3/8" from the point of the white triangle. Make sure your lines on the ruler line up straight with the triangle lines(seams)
Trim it down to the 1 3/8"
