A special note for Judy and others also. When doing the flying geese units I did the no waste technique which make 4 at a time using 1 5 1/4" square and 4 2 7/8" squares. You can google no waste flying geese and get printed instructions and you can also find a tutorial for it on you tube. I started making them this way quite some time ago and have done it this way ever since. If you have ever had problems try it. Plus you don't have to cut off those triangles and throw them away. I know some will bulk at 7/8" but my 12 1/2" Omni Grid ruler has a marking for those pesky 8th's that make it no harder then cutting 3/4". Oh and when I finished my geese units I had to trim not even 1/16th off so you can see there is little to no waste trimming them up and that is if you have to as most of mine needed no trimming at all. Okay I'll be quiet now.
