Help with flying geese - AGAIN. I am so dense :)
I am attempting (miserably) to conquer flying geese. The pattern says to cut 1 1/2 inch squares and put them on the corners of a 1 1/2 x 2 5/8 rectangle. Sew diagonally. Anyway, long story short, where the two squares cross at the top, that ends up being the pointy part of the flying geese. Problem - I never end up with 1/4 inch at the top of my point. How can I sew a 1/4 inch seam to add it to another piece of material if I don't have 1/4 there. My points are always cut off. My seams are a true quarter inch, so I can't figure out what the problem is. Now that I've explained it as clear as mud, can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks for your time.
