Here's ShellyQ's tutorial for hst's. http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/8342.page

Check out some of the other tutorials in that section. They're all pretty good!

When I make flying geese, I make a rectangle the finished size I want the goose to be. For example 3.5x6.5". Then I cut 2 3.5" squares and draw a diagonal line corner to corner on the back of each square. Put one square on the end of the rectangle, right sides of fabric together with the diagonal line starting at the lower outside corner and angling up and in. Sew on the line, trim to 1/4" seam allowance. When you fold the triangle up, it should complete the rectangle and form one side of the goose. Repeat with the other side. Your squares should overlap about 1/4" above the point of the goose, allowing for joining together with other pieces or blocks without losing your point.

I'm editing to add a document that has the method that Rose Marie is describing. I think :) . I've never used it, though, so can't swear by how fast or easy it is.
