Block number 40. The last one! This one is fittingly called forty, it is made of four "T"s.
Actually, it is made of flying geese, but the arrangement forms the letter T in each corner. Use your favorite method 4 HST units. You know that I used the Easy Angle ruler, but the chart has measurements for the square method. I am using flip and sew triangles for the flying geese again this time. Not what I would do for a larger size block, but it does make the math easy.
Draw a line on the diagonal of each small brown square. Place it right sides together on one end of each background rectangle.
Sew on the drawn line, flip and press before trimming away the extra fabric beneath.
Repeat on the other end of each background rectangle for a total of 8 flying geese units.
Arrange the geese pairs along the edge and point the white goose bodies toward the center square. Go ahead and double check so that you don't sew the whole block together wrong like I did. (Unsewing is so much less fun than sewing!).
You don't really see the serifs on the Ts until it all comes together. I suggest a fabric with a nice strong contrast to get the full effect. That's it. Our last block. Done!
Congratulations!!!!
