For accuracy, paper piecing is the way to go. And I agree with you, so much easier to make flying geese that way. Love your fabric choices. It is going to look like a botanical garden when it is finished.

Why not just cut quarter triangles for centers and match with HSTs for sides.....no papers involved. Both can be cut from strips of fabric using the right templates you will get the right triangle shapes......

I just peel off the geese and then re-use the same pp over and over. I do cut a triangle for the middle and the sides from strips, I just use the pp to make it quickly and accurately.

I'm glad to see your back and quilting again! I must be a little daft today. I can't figure out how you are reusing the freezer paper. I have a pattern that is mostly flying geese and I would love to use your method but for some reason I can't get how you're doing it. I know how to PP so I should be able to understand it, duh! Can you please help clarify a little more? Thanks so much!!
