Enjoy your day, JanRN, on the FART...
I looked at the book again, JanRN, and the flying geese do go across the block in a straight line...I did the flying geese the English way again, like Alex Alexander and Ricky did in their video on You tube....in a 'book' style rotary cutting both strips. Again, its personal preferences for the design of each block.
Love the combined block page...everyone will have a beautiful quilt from those blocks!!
