You draw the grid on muslin, then each strip is cut 3 inches wide and folded in half and sewn to the muslin so that the blocks are 3 D. The Ricky Tims method of constructing flying geese only uses one seam and it also makes a folded 3-D goose. I plan to hand quilt a black X in each block using # 5 black pearl cotton in order to preserve the 3-D
effect and not flatten it out as conventional quilting would. I hope that explains it. There is a web site for foldy stuff patterns.
Thank you going to find that web site
