Assemble Block 4

2. Repeat Step 1, but instead of the navy triangle, use the blush triangle (D). Make 2. Then, make one Flying Geese Unit for with the green and red fabric.

3. Referring to the diagram, join a navy (E) and gray (C) triangles to the gray square (B). Repeat 3 more times to make the unit in green, red, and blush.

4. Referring to the diagram, join a navy (E) and gray (C) triangles to the gray square (B). Repeat 3 more times to make the unit in green, red, and blush. Note the placement of the triangles. They are different from Step 3.

5. Join 2 gray squares (B) to each side of the navy (F). Repeat 3 more times to make the unit in green, red, and blush.

6. Referring to the diagram below, join the green pieced triangles from Step 3 and 4 to each side of the navy triangle (D). Repeat 3 more times to make the unit in green, red, and blush.
