the method that requires you to draw lines and sew two squares to one rectangle; cut away excess; end up with one flying goose is not the traditional method.
the traditional method is to cut the goose triangle and the sky triangles so that when you sew them together there is no wasteful trimming away of excess. also no wasting time drawing lines.
the "make four at a time" method is ok if you need four (or sets of four.)
we experimented with that in class this weekend and found that it's essential to sew a precise, full quarter-inch seam in order to have the FGs come out the correct size.
i am not familiar with "EB method" so can't comment on that.
do you have a link to "the Accuquilt way?" i'm curious and couldn't find it by using google.
