That is one of those "Why didn't I think of that" ideas. Thank you sew very much.

Thanks so much for this tute. I have been trying different methods
for this for the last three days and NONE were coming out right.
I really appreciate it.

It must have been too late when I typed up the examples. As JoyjoyMarie pointed out - the second set of measurements I gave was incorrect. Don't pay attention to the examples - just add 7/8" for the little squares and 1 1/4" to the big one. It really will work - as you gals are evidently finding out. Hurray!

great tute! :thumbup: someone should hire you to write pattern instructions, suitable for the 21st century. please send them your resume'. i'll be happy to write a letter of recommendation.

when they have you make FG, they never say what the finish size will be, so you (i) really don't feel free to use a preferred method.
they assume you (i) can figure out that if you cut a square 7-7/8 and cut twice on the diagonal and attach to the corners of a rectangle, you can choose your own method and end up with the proper size. they clearly don't know me.

i have to make one out of paper first to work out the dimensions and then rework the fabric requirements. am i the only one? please don't say yes. :o

I have used this method ever since I found it on the net. What I like best about this method is there is No waste and the geese turn out perfect Every time.
