Hi Kellen, have you posted a picture of your quilt? I didn't think I wanted to try a flying geese but I am changing my mind.[/quote]

here it is, you will see I used the process of sewing triangles from squares for the center as well as the geese. I chose squares from a big box of 5" sample squares I have been using up for ages....can't remembereber how many quilts I have made from that box...whew! I just chose lots of blues and purples and all the lights I could find and scraped them up together. It makes a nice size lap quilt as each block worked out to about 11" finished. Not easy peasy but not hard either definitely better than cutting out tons of squares and such. Sort of my work was done for me with the 5" square already cut.

I am getting better at doing machine quilting too I think
