I ordered a quilt pattern and I am a bit disappointed. Rephrase that - a lot disappointed!!! I have the blocks done and one of the borders is a flying geese border. The instructions to complete this is as follows:
Make 72 - 2"x 4" finished flying geese. Make the goose "dark" and the sky "light". Piece your completed flying geese blocks into 2 rows of 36.
OK.... I have made flying geese before, but I have had measurements for each part... I would prefer to make this with sewing triangle pieces(cutting 2 squares and then again on the diagonal) rather than rectangles and squares ruling on the diagonal, sewing and then trimming excess away, if you know what I mean, to stop fabric wastage.
My question is what sizes should each part be? What method do you use? Do you prefer? Is there a cheat sheet for flying geese - example if I want 3.5" x 6" flying geese cut fabric this size,2"x 4" flying geese cut fabric this size, etc?
Thanks for your responses
