[quote=EIQuilter]Here's the method I like: http://www.quilterscache.com/H/Howtomakegeese.html (Method B, about half-way down the page). It's the same principle, but you don't have to pin your first squares to keep them out of the way.

my favorite also

Instead of pinning the two squares up go ahead and cut on the line, press the two pieces up , you will have a what looks like a heart. Then sew your other square and cut. You will not nip any fabric. The is in Billie Lauder's quick trick book

I also like the one-seam method if I'm making something where it's okay for the geese to be three-dimensional. It's a fun method to do - seems almost like magic!

Thanks for sharing...I use Eleanor Burns technique which is similar but I like this one better...

One seam f/g is fun too. Just love this block!

When you get to the last step, you have a two pieces that consist of a square with two triangles attached - they look sort of like a heart. You also have two square pieces yet to be sewn. Place one of those squares on top of the square of the heart, right sides together, and sew 1/4" on either side of the center line of the square. Cut on the center line and you have two flying geese from each heart.

Here's another tutorial that shows it step by step using real fabric. It might be easier to unerstand than my description! http://thelastpiece.typepad.com/the_...utorial-1.html

Thanks a million for sharing, it came just at the right time. All the other links under this one are just as welcome, I filed this helpful link. Thank you and greetings across the big ocean.

I chain piece my flying geese. They go pretty fast. This method seems like a lot of steps. I'll be curious to know if it actually saves any time or effort.
