[ATTACH=CONFIG]558897[/ATTACH]Me too, SUNLITE! I just did worse than you ... I was having a senior moment when I told AngeliaNR about my HST ruler when she was talking about making Flying Geese! I was thinking about CHASEZZZ's post about using the little leftover triangles from the FG we are making! A real DUH moment. She must think I've totally lost it! I guess what I meant to say is if I want to save the little corners I make the FG the way Judy shows here. E.Burns way is easy but you can't save the little corners. ANYWAY... Nothing spectacular looking... but to prove I did them... Here are two sets of my Flying Geese for this mystery, plus I have another set from fall fabrics that I haven't posted yet. You will see them in the finished topper.

Finished my gaggle (144 of them!). I'll post a picture tomorrow from a real computer (instead of the Kindle I'm using now). I, too, have a bunch of bonus HSTs--I understood what you meant Jan.

Got step 3 done so here are pics of the fabric I chose. Thanks for your response Judy[ATTACH=CONFIG]558901[/ATTACH]

Just Jan, my tiny HSTs were sewn as units when I was making the flying geese...After I sewed the "proper" diagonal line for the block, I then sewed a parallel second line a half inch closer to the corner. When I cut the corner off (1/4" outside the "proper" sew line) I had the small HST ready for pressing and squaring up.

Jaba, love those batiks!

Just jan, thanks for your follow up on the HST ruler. I was going to listen to that video again to make sure I didn't miss her talking about flying geese. : )

Judy, I also looked on joann's website for a flying geese ruler and couldn't find one. Am I blind?

For years I've been saving the 'bonus' HST left over from flying geese. I sew them as enders & leaders but I think, Chasezzz, your method of sewing at the same time would be a lot quicker. Haven't planned on what to do with them, but someday a scrappy with little HST will call to me.

Jaba I love the browns and aqua. JustJan those are pretty flying geese. It's going to be exciting to see the finished runners from everyone. that's my favorite part of the mystery seeing the same pattern done in different fabrics.

Everything looks so wonderful. Not a loser in the bunch! Can't wait for Saturday.

Jan, love that background fabric. I love tone on tone whites, or I guess that is a printed gray on white. Either way. love it.

Jaba, your colors are beautiful together.

Just Jan

Yes, that's how I do mine, then use the June Tailor ruler to square them up. Here's my little mug rug, ready to sandwich, made using 2-1/2" HST.

My full day of sewing was interrupted by a power outage! I made a lot of geese, lots more than I needed, so I guess after the mystery is over I will have a mystery of my own on what to do with all the extra's

I love your fabric Jaba that Aqua blue is beautiful!

Just Jan your puppy on your avatar is a cutie!
