I like doing flying geese this way: http://youtu.be/78Mu0C_QL8Y

I am doing this Crafty class too, but haven't got to Aug. I really don't like the wonky blocks very much, but it's fun to watch as I exercise!!
Keep doing the flying geese like you always do, that is the correct way. I think they just skipped a step when they were taping. Happy Quilting. |
Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville has a ton of quilting tips also! Love me some quiltville

I've always pressed it first and then sewn on the last piece. I can't see it working any other way?

If you go to the class materials icon under the video, you can print out the instructions (and pattern pieces when used) and it shows pictures of how to make the flying geese. I think these will help you tremendously.

Basically, she made a boo-boo, and they did not edit her mistake totally out of the video. Earlier, she had pressed that first corner open and had even commented on how important it was to have it pressed open.

I haven't used flying geese blocks for a while. I have made lots of them before. I want to try the cut down method and see how that works.

Have yet to try flying geese, have bookmarked several tutes!
