    Using my very hi-tech non-EQ graph paper, I sketched this pattern.

    The purple blocks are the flying geese. The center block does not need to be a square in a square. It's just two FG blocks going in opposite directions. I think that would be easier for most people to do.

    The four quadrants that I've colored with pink, orange and green are all HST's.

    My hi-tech drawing is limited by the size of the paper, but it used 46 flying geese and 272 HST's.

    If your HST's are 2" square finished, and your flying geese are 2" x 4" finished, you would need the following number of blocks:

    46 FG + 280 HST = 34" square quilt (51" square with 3" HST's)

    58 FG + 428 HST = 42" square quilt (64" square with 3" HST's)

    70 FG + 620 HST = 51" square quilt (76" square with 3" HST's)

    86 FG + 932 HST = 62" square quilt (93" square with 3" HST's)

    I haven't double checked my math, but this should give anyone a rough idea of how many blocks they need for this quilt.

    I had to laugh when I saw your little picture of what a "cabana" quilt was.......I was picturing something exotic with palm trees.... you can imagine my disappointment when that little picture loaded and I saw TRIangles!!!

    I agree. I would put it into my EQ5. That is the advantage of EQ. You see a quilt. put it into the program and you have the pattern.

    Too many HST for me. I have to keep with the simple quilts in my old age. Good Luck

    The diagonal blocks are flying geese. All of the other blocks are just HST's. While the center block is technically a Square-in-a-square, you can easily get the same look by simply sewing two flying geese together.

    I think one an make either with those fg corners or all HSTs. Actually wouldn't it be hard to attach those fg corners. Easier to HST with one right angle triangle to fill the square edge? Cute idea either way and mindless sewing...need that sometimes
