Fold strip in half wrong sides together.

Put folded strip on top of one (right side up) square matching raw edges of folded strip to the top and left raw edge of square. Fold should be facing bottom with a ¼ inch space from folded edge to bottom of square.

Place second square (wrong side up) on top of the folded strip matching raw edges to first square making a sandwich with the folded strip in the middle.

Sew ¼ inch seam down the right side of all layers. There should be a ¼ inch section at bottom with only the two square fabrics in seam.

Open the sandwich and fold out the strip to form the geese section.

Thanks for typing this out! I've printed a copy to put near my sewing machine! :wink:
