I, too, make horrible flying geese. The only way I can make them look okay is to use the Ricky Tims method, but then you have to sew the edges down. Don't like how that looks. I made a king size quilt that had 12 stars within a star and each star had 4 FG. So I made 64 FG and the long armer that quilted that quilt said I was an excellent sewer. She said it in a room full of her clients. They all said "You've never said that to me". And it was those stupid FG that came out all cockeyed. But when I put them together, they went together well. I did the long rectangle and two squares on either side, like usual, and they turned out horrible, but I used them, and they worked well for some reason. ??? Next time I'm trying the big square and 4 little squares. Heard that's easy.
