I had taken a beginning quilt class and a 6 block sampler class that each block you learned a different technique. When my daughter asked me to make her a quilt I was glad to, asked her what kind she would like and she said flying geese. So I started, but so many things were going on it got put aside for quite awhile and went back to it. I find flying geese can be challenging, and when I was running into losing points, rows bowing, some seams ending up being less than 1/8" -not even 1/4". I personally would recommend putting the fg project away for awhile, and getting some practice on techniques and just some experience in general and then go back to the fg. I am planning on trying a few of the ways to do flying geese before I go back the her quilt and figure out which one I like or am comfortable with and use just one method throughout the project. Good luck. I hope to get my project done this year and post a picture.
