Flying geese, how do YOU make yours?

Flying geese, how do YOU make yours?
I am working on the the Pink Lemonaide quilt by Eleanor burns and it seems the entire quilt is made up of flying geese, 96 of them!!! I dicided I would do something totally out of character this time, and follow the instructions in the book exactly. Well, some of you may know that Eleanor makes her flying geese by cutting a square 9" and another 7.5", etc. etc. It seems very labor intensive to me but being one who has avoided flying geese whenever she could...I would LOVE to know opinions of the seasoned quilters out there and which method of making flying geese seems the most accurate and fastest to them. Thanks in advance for all your opinions, I really want to know this! This will not be the last time I face a flock of flying geese, and next time I want to be ready!

I made my flying geese by the Ricky Timms method called One Seam Flying Geese. I think you can Google that. I'd put a picture on but not sure how to do it in this new format. That flying geese is super easy and fun to make.

I have all her geese rulers and love her method for 4 geese at a time and they come out perfect.
The rulers are at Joanns so use coupons to buy them.
It is a unique method and takes just a few times to get used to doing.

I've got a quilt in the plans that needs 100 8-pointed stars - 400 flying geese! I won't even think of doing them any other way. I like the precision and the ease too much.
