Here's the block I did up with the fabric collection I have. I made it as an 8" center square instead of the 12" as shown. It takes one 2.5" WoF per block to make both the geese and the bars as I did here. I folded the squares to make more of the block shape, but I would use alternate squares.

forgot this part: I made the geese by the method of taking a rectangle (in my case 2.5 x 4.5) for the geese, and two squares (2.5) for the sides, draw on the diagonal of the square and cut off the excess. I did chop off one of my points. What can I say, it happens and I was tired!

The fabrics aren't working so well on this scale, they'd do better in the 12". They all have cherries in them, you don't really get to see them in the setting triangles around the geese. The large scale cherry print is directional so I have to be aware of that. The real constraint is that I don't have enough of the red pin dot to make the 24 blocks I would want to make -- but I have other red dots and am thinking about "why not" and add a bit of scrappy to a planned quilt. Or maybe just wait for another project for these fabrics

Edit: as I look at the picture, I'm thinking maybe replace the side bars with white? that would probably make a really nice secondary pattern like in the original and leave me with enough red...
