I never thought to worry about the waste of fabric for this block. The ease of it is worth more to me then saving a little fabric. I used layer cake pre cut fabric and had enough blocks sewn for a quilt top in less then 20 min. No cutting or measuring just straight chain piecing. Great for a fast quilt that looks time consuming. I look at my stack of layer cake bundles and see quilts!

I love Suzanne McNeil's books! I'm waiting for the 5-minute block book to come to my LQS...Thanks for sharing the info!

So, the measurements for this block is basically a 10" square cut in half? I tried this last night and came up short on one end of the triangle. How do you fix?? HELP!! :o Thanks!!

The rectangle size is important to get the two to match up. I found that out when I cut a 10" square in half and sewed the block. The goose block was too long when pressed opened. The book has a size to cut the fabric for a small or large block so they sew up perfectly. This is left out of the youtube video.

Which book do you have? I want to get one, but don't know which one to get first. There is also the 5 minute block, right? how about that one?

There are three books, two for the 10 minute blocks and one for the 5 minute block. I bought all three at one time so I can't offer which one is the best to get first. These type of books go out of print fast.

Too funny...this is a cool block as well!
