We will make the pieced border for this step.
We will start by making the blue and pink half square triangles.
Cut 2 blue squares 2 7/8", then cut on the diagonal once for 4 triangles.Cut 2 pink squares 2 7/8", then cut on the diagonal once for 4 triangles.
Piece these together as in the photo. They should measure 2 1/2".
From the blue faded print cut four 2 7/8" squares, then cut once on the diagonal for 8 triangles. Piece the flying geese units as you did previously.
From a different faded light pink cut eight 2 1/2" squares. Lay out your block as in the photo and piece the border and add it to the center block. Yay!! Isn't it adorable? Yours should measure 12 1/2".
I'll post my choice of backing and quilting on the third and final step.
