Flying Geese
I ordered a quilt kit that includes instructions for cutting squares for flying geese the traditional way (the stitch & flip method). Since there are a lot of flying geese I would prefer to use the no waste method to make 4 at a time. For some reason I am having a brain freeze & can’t figure out how to convert the cutting instructions. Would I cut 1/4 as many squares than rectangles called for? And would I need 1 small square per goose? This sounds correct but I’m afraid to cut my fabric without knowing for sure.

There are lots of links for 4 at a time no waste FG. Here's one for you https://www.scrapish.com/no-waste-flying-geese.html
You only cut squares. This is one of my fav blocks to make. Hint...need accurate 1/4 seam and careful pressing.

I know how to make the no waste flying geese, but if my pattern calls for 40 flying geese made the traditional way by cutting 40 rectangles & 80 small squares, would I cut 10 large squares and 40 smaller squares in order to use the no waste method? I’m sure this is correct, but I need a little reassurance. Thank you!
