February 13
Today we discover the Covered Corners method of making triangles; well, beginners will, anyway. There are a series of interesting blocks over the coming days using this technique.
Let’s start today with Diagonal Strips, as my EQ7 calls it; also known as Lightning, according to Molly Malone.

LOVE & KISSES
Did someone say Valentine’s Day? In keeping with the theme, today’s block is Love and Kisses, from Maggie Malone.

HEART
A simple Heart block for Valentine’s Day. I couldn’t find this in any references, but it’s such a simple little block, anyone could draft it.

FLYING GEESE
I’ve always called this type of unit Flying Geese, and I’m not entirely incorrect, though apparently, this title is more relevant to a long strip of them, rather than just a pair as is our block today.
The correct goosey name for a patch with just two of these units is called Wild Goose Chase, recorded in 1932 in The Patchwork Book, according to Jinny Beyer. She gives another potential moniker as Birds in Flight, from the 1973 publication, American Patchwork Quilts. There is a seemingly identical block, called A Victory Quilt, from the Kansas City Star in 1942, but although its appearance may be similar, it’s constructed with Half Square Triangles, whereas we will use Covered Corners, the more commonly employed method.
I’ll be calling units like these, Flying Geese, regardless.

STREAK OF LIGHTENING
Streak of Lightening, or Streak o’Lightening are the names given to this block; although it is usually pieced with triangles, as Barbara Brackman’s illustrations from BlockBase show below:

Maggie Malone cites this exact block, though. We will piece it with Covered Corners, rather than triangles, or pyramids, which affords us the opportunity to use subtle shading to create a three-dimensional effect.
