Traditionally in the quilt block , the larger center triangle is made in a dark color to represent the goose with outstretched wings . The smaller triangles are made in a lighter color to represent the background sky . Of course , you can create your blocks in any color , but the two smaller triangles should always be the same color for maximum effect .
These flying geese blocks are particularly useful for borders but can be used as bands of color across an entire quilt . They can also be used to piece Sawtooth Star blocks . This is done by placing them with the points of the large triangles facing inward around a large central square and then placing four smaller squares in the corners .
There are four ( and maybe more ) ways to make a Flying Geese block and several rulers and templates to help .
The deadline to enter the show is March 5 . Applications can be downloaded from the guild website : threeriversquilters . org .
