How to make the Flying Geese Quilt Block · Indigo & Vermilion kinusaiga
-
Print and transfer
Print the cut map at your chosen size, tape it to a foam board and score each line about 1/8" (3 mm) deep, keeping the blade upright.
-
Cut your fabric
Match the 5 numbered colors to your fabrics. Cut each piece about 1/4" (6 mm) larger than its shape on every side.
-
Tuck the 12 pieces
Start with the background and work toward the front. Press the fabric edges into the grooves with a butter knife, seam ripper or tucking tool.
-
Finish and frame
Trim any loose threads, tuck the outer edge around the board and set it in a shadow box or a deep frame.
