    From Fabric 2: Patch A: 16 squares 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 for flying geese

    From Fabric 3: Patch C: 8 rectangles 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 for flying geese.

    Ok....made those. Turned out well.

    Next.....

    Step 3: Cut 4 Fabric 1 B squares in half diagonally. Sew one of these triangles to each side of a Flying Geese unit as shown in Diagram 4. Make 4 pieced units like this.

    Ok....here is a picture of my problem. A picture of my flying geese with the triangle next to it and if you look to the left you can see the Diagram 4 with shows you how it goes. My triangles are bigger than the flying geese and don't match up. Is this supposed to be this way? Should I cut the triangle down? Should I just go ahead and shoot myself and get it over with????
    In looking at the pattern on the side your triangle is turned the wrong way.

    Place the triangle so that the right angle is at the base of the flying geese unit. At the moment, you have it at the top.

    just turn the brown triangle to the right (1/4 turn) and line it up with the white triangle.
    I think thats right.

    Looks like to me that the triangle on the left is going in the wrong direction...the long side of the triangle should be facing up not down...

    Look at diagram 4 that corner triangle should be rotated 90 degrees.
