    3D Flying Geese w/curved edges with one seam!

    I love making these blocks. Now I can make them any size WITHOUT doing the math!

    First link shows the method. Second page shows how to make the curve edges.

    http://piecemealquilts.files.wordpre...e-tutorial.pdf

    Second link has a printable chart for cutting and sewing. Scroll down to the blue box:

    http://www.generations-quilt-pattern...ilt-block.html

    Tip...sew the raw edges together before sewing to additional blocks. (Don't ask me how I found this out.)

    Enjoy my quilting friends!

    If you don't work on it you'll never finish it.

    Wow, I have not seen this method before! So happy you shared it, I love it!

    I have watched Ricky Timms use this method. What I find priceless is the chart, thanks so much for posting this info. The cutting chart is invaluable information. I made one block doing this, it is basically no waste.

    It's also called the 5 min. block. You can do the same thing with 10 in. squares. Sew 4 together and you have a faux cathedral window. Really cool and several tutes on youtube.
    Keep smiling, it makes others wonder what you're up to!
