Sew along the line and trim 1/4″ from the seam towards the outer corner. Press towards the grey. Repeat for the white A square and press towards the white.
Repeat for the mid-green with B squares, and dark green with C squares.
Step 2. Sew the following pieces into rows, pressing seams away from the flying geese units:

Sew these rows together.
