Melodic Mystery ++ More Flying Geese

Let's Make More Flying Geese!  

I am sorry for all of the flying geese, I promise that this is the last of them :)  

Welcome to the November set of instructions for the Melodic Mystery Quilt! The Melodic Mystery Quilt is a free quilt-along that runs from July 2022 through April 2023 with a set of directions revealed the first Thursday of every month. 

There is plenty of time to join in on the quilt along, instructions are published monthly so there is plenty of time to catch up! You can find all of the information about the Melodic Mystery, including schedule, past instructions, links to the Facebook group, sneak peek, and more in the Main Melodic Mystery Quilt Page.

More Flying Geese Units

Combine 18 fabric B squares 7 ¼" x 7 ¼" and 72 bg squares 3 ⅞" x 3 ⅞" to make 72 B/bg flying geese units 3 ½" x 6 ½" using the No Waste Flying Geese method. 

1.  Place 2 of the bg squares 3 ⅞ x 3 ⅞" on opposite corners of a fabric B square 7 ¼" x 7 ¼" right sides together.  

The bg squares will overlap in the middle of the fabric B square.  

Use a removable marking device to make a line diagonally across the bg squares (solid line).

2.  Sew a scant ¼" seam on both sides of the marked line (dotted lines) and then cut on the marked line (solid line).

3.  Press the seams towards the bg squares. (You will have two of these intermediate units.)   

For each intermediate unit, place a bg square 3 ⅞ x 3 ⅞" on the corner of the fabric B square right sides together.

Draw a diagonal line on the bg square (solid line) and sew a scant ¼" on both sides of the marked line (dotted lines).

4.  Cut on the marked line (solid line) and press the seams towards the bg squares.  

Each set of 1 fabric B square and 4 bg squares will yield 4 B/bg flying geese.

5. Repeat steps 1-4 to make a total of 72 B/bg flying geese units.  

Cut off tabs (also known as dog ears) and trim blocks to 3 ½" x 6 ½" if necessary, making sure there is ¼" between the point of the goose triangle and the edge of the unit.
