Thank you so much Belfrybat for directing me right to what I was looking for. The next traditional block I’m making that has flying geese in them I’m using that method instead. You see I’m making my own quilt from various free 12” blocks I’ve found on the Internet plus several from one book that inspired the quilt in the first place, Vintage Quilt Revival. I’m trying paper piecing for most of them & having a really fun time but 2 so far have been traditionally pieced & have had flying geese in them. I’ve managed to make them come out but I knew there was a better, easier way. So anyways, thank you for your link.
And JanieW, thanks also for your link to how Watson was previously describing sewing up her 4 patches. The only problem with that technique I see is that you have all 4 pieces of fabric matching unlike the scrappier version Judy recommended for this quilt. I guess you could mix them up with another set after you cut a bunch up in half the first time & get some different pairs together though huh?
Judy, thanks for your reassurance. It helps a lot. Did you say this next clue is the final one? Or is there one more?
