Step D should read
Cut twelve 1.75" squares then cut each on the diagonal for the "sky" of the geese. If you prefer to cut it larger and whack it off, then make the squares 2".
And the directions for the colored (red) as I mentioned earlier, step C has you cutting twelve 2.25" squares then cutting each on the diagonal. You only need to cut six.
I'm also assuming by the size of the other blocks (all in multiples of 3" finished size) that this block FINISHES to 9" which means I when I'm done piecing it I need to have a 9.5" block.
I think I need to start checking their blog to see if they are posting corrections.
** They have changed the diagram for this block in the instructions! **
The first version had *red* geese flying in a band of white.
If you download it now, the geese are *white* and the band and the
background are red. This makes more sense with the cutting
instructions - however step D still has you cut 16 rectangles instead of 12.
The pictures they posted on dear jane and sentimental stitches show the new version.
