    This is the only way I make flying geese. There is a chart I downloaded for different sizes. I'll try to find the link if it's still there.

    I didn't have it bookmarked but I had this:

    Making Geese in Any Size, The Formula:

    You can make your Flying Geese in any size using the following formula:

    Size of squares = 1/2 inch larger than the desired finished height of the overall unit.

    Height of the rectangle = same as the squares you cut.

    Width of the rectangle = width of square times two minus 1/2 inch.

    In other words, if you cut 2" squares, you would cut the rectangle 2" x 3.5"

    I have a six inch block with geese that is a 1 1/2 by 2 1/2. I had all the triangles cut out and saw this block. So I set out to change it to the right dimensions. Then I read down a little lower and saw how to do it. Oh well it has taken me all morning to get it but this is definitely the way to go. Thanks so much for posting this. :D :lol:
