    I do not like to PP anything and avoid patterns that use PP. It wastes not only paper but fabric. Then you have to tear it off.
    Eleanor Burns is the way to go for me.

    There is NO WASTE using Triangulations and the paper method. And I use paper that would otherwise be in the garbage.

    I also like Ricky Timms method of making Flying Geese. They have more looks than one.

    I make 4-1/4" inch squares, cut them on the diag, sew them together, have done it this way for years and years and it works for me. Before I learned about this guild, I didn't know there was any other way of doing it.

    I don't know about leaving others in the dust on this method...seems very slow to me but I am sure it is accurate. I would worry about all the waste myself...
