Draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of each square.  \n2. Place a square onto one end of the goose rectangle with right sides together, lining up all cut edges. Stitch directly on the diagonal line.  \n3. Trim 1/4” away from the seam and press the lower triangle up toward the sky fabric.  \nRev. 4/2019  \nTip: To prevent wasting the little triangles that are trimmed off, simply stitch a seam 1/2” away from the first line of stitching for instant half-square triangles.  \n4. With right sides together, place the remaining square onto the left  \nside of the rectangle and stitch directly on the line. Trim ¼” away from the seam allowance and press the lower triangle up toward the sky fabric.  \nAgain, you can harvest the left side half-square triangles by stitching 1/2” away from the first line of stitching and cut 1/4” in between  \n5. Place the Bloc Loc™ Flying Geese Ruler on top of the flying geese unit  \nso that the grooves underneath the ruler fit over the seam allowances. Trim all way around using your rotary cutter.  \n| \u003Cbr>|  |\n| --- | --- |\n\n\n| Cutting Directions for the Square In A Square (SIS) units using Bloc Loc Flying Geese Rulers*\u003Cbr>Please watch [the video for making & trimming SIS at](the video for making & trimming SIS at www.blocloc.com.
