PART 4
Welcome to Part 4 of Quilt Street’s Celebration Mystery Quilt-Along! This installment provides instructions for making large Flying Geese Units using a stitch-and-flip technique.
Once you’re done with this part of the pattern, all that’s left will be to assemble the blocks and stitch them together to make the quilt top. So if you haven’t downloaded Parts 1–3 yet, now’s the time! Follow along with instructor Krista Moser in the free Celebration quilt-along videos to see her demonstrate how to make all of the units and for her bonus piecing tips and tricks.

Fabric requirements include extra yardage for shrinkage and insurance. If working with directional prints, you may want to begin with more fabric than called for.
WOF = width of fabric
