Judy, the final row is actually from the 10 minute block video on YouTube with an extra small square set between the blocks. I thought it did a pretty good job of faking Cathedral Windows and is much easier.
For flying geese, I like the Quilt in a Day ruler method. I'm not a big fan of fancy rulers, but that one is worth the money to me. Without it my geese tend to have one short wind. I have no idea why!
For HST, I always do the cut down method. It is a bit more time consuming, but if I want HST that are square I have to do it.
I look forward to seeing pictures of everyone's quilts.
