Hi - I'm attempting to make 40+ sawtooth star blocks, each will have 4 flying geese. Some of the fabric I'm using will have directional print. I know there are a few different ways to make flying geese. Can anyone tell me if there is a certain way I should be making these to ensure everything is laying in the same direction?

I looked at the tutorial and feel a little stupid for asking this but in a flying geese what is considered the "geese" and what is considered the "sky?" There is one center piece and two outer pieces. Which is which?

I do not know which is which, either.

I refer to the pieces as " center triangle" and " side triangles".

I can never remember which is which. I just make myself a little diagram
on my chart so I know which one I have to cut the big square and which
one is for the small squares.
The "geese" is the big finished triangle (cut one big square) and the "sky"
is the small triangles on the side (cut 4 small squares).
I'd make a test sample before cutting all my fabric.

I always consider the larger triangle as the geese and the smaller the sky. Reminds me of geese migrating in the spring and fall.. The geese make a "V" in the sky.
