I didn't want to spend time trying to figure out how many I needed, so I just cut and stitched. Still haven't gotten to the original project, but did use the flying geese in a project I didn't even know was going to show up ... I know they will find a home, so I am not too worried.
What a great way to take control of your scraps! I love this idea, and I may copy it. I have 6 drawers of an old dresser full of scraps to keep them 'out of sight, out of mind.' There are so many ways to use flying geese! And you can make a whole quilt of scrappy geese.
