Flying Geese 20 at a time
I just had to try this method as well and totally agree with the comments. I also had to do a little un-stitching as soon as I saw that my first cut gave me one goose with a "broken shoulder"! You need to be aware that all 20 geese will have all four sides on the bias of the fabric so be careful how you handle them and where you use them - spray starching the fabric first would probably help to stabilize them.

I had seen this method a few weeks ago, and if you look carefully at the picture of the final cutting lines, you will notice that only four geese need a "sky" from those two 3" strips. At that time I thought: if I were to make that, I would leave off the 3" strips. I would just add a triangle at those four spots. (Larger than necessary.) Then they could get trimmed to the size needed. I don't like to see tiny pieces cut out of long strips, either.
