I think you mean flying geese, nana. There are a few different methods on how to do the Flying Geese. If you are a real newbie, then you may not want to start with triangles or curves. Instead I would recommend to get the basic terms and processes under your belt with straight-line work. 4-patch, 9-patch, Disappearing 9-patch, Rail Fence are all great beginner patterns that allow you to learn the 1/4" seam and basic construction WITHOUT the need for perfect points. Then move on to triangular patterns.
