FlyingGeese-Quick&Easy
#1
I watched Ricky Tim's video and wrote out these directions after seeing the video for making Flying Geese using just one seam. This technique is also called the ENGLISH METHOD of slying geese. Good luck to all. This is easy, quick and so much more fun (for me) than the old way of doing Flying Geese. Don't forget to check out SONDRAY's post about changing sizes for this method which she posted in July 2008.

Just watched the video where I have DSL rather than at home with dial up! How great is that, and with this method you can do curved seams ala Cathedral Windows! How great is that!:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Don't think my machine quilter will do them as they have the pocket that gets caught in the machine- but I thought I would use them on a hand quilted wall hanging. Would I tack the pocket down all the way around the "arrow"? Help!

Ricky Timms lets his geese fly just like they are :D He does not sew them down, but likes the 3dimensional look. Since they are secured, it may not hurt to let them alone, would they need to be pressed any after washing??? I have not made any this way yet.
