Hi everyone. This block uses half-square triangles and flying geese - two that I needed extra practice doing.

Hope you enjoy it.

Repeat after me: "I can do this"; "I can do this"; "I can do this".

Great block, Connie.
Why do you suppose flying geese bug me so much? I can do them. I don't mind the half-square triangles any more. (I just cut them a little larger then trim them down) But oh, those geese! Well, we shall practice and they too shall be won over! Really! We CAN do this :!:
Thanks for encouraging us to strive for more than we think we want! :lol:

Thanks Connie,
I like the square, and as my Mother (God bless her soul) used to always tell me. Practice makes perfect. And boy do i need it. :lol: :lol:

Uh-oh...half-square triangles and flying geese! Paper-piecing is the only way I'm gonna tackle this one... :shock:

O.K. Half square triangles and flying geese are not my favorite patches to put together either. But someone asked for help making them -

- and everyone gave such great advice, I thought we would all take that advice and try them out.

Remember, we can do anything we set our minds to, and the block really is pretty.

Absolutely!!!!

I need the practice, too. The scary blocks are the best. I still have so many different things to try and to learn. This is a great way to do that.

:P
