I am a big fan of paper piecing. I could not get my flying geese to come out for the life of me. I have the Triangulations program that allows me to print whatever size I need. I had perfect flying geese after having no success with all the rulers and all the different methods. Good luck!

Have you tried paper piecing? I love that supposedly simple block but have such a hard time with it I had to do a few for a wall hanging recently and I ended up paper piecing them and they turned out pretty well. I've tried the Deb Tucker ruler and didn't have too much luck but that's just me. Good luck

I need help! Just attempted to make 12 of these for a quilt and they turned out terrible! I actually ordered more fabric and am going to discard these. Could not get them to square up correctly so that I had 1/4" on each corner of the diamond. Then, of course, when I sewed the blocks together, none of my points matched. They look terrible. I read every tutorial I could find on the internet with no luck. Can anyone give me any tips on how to sew these correctly? My scant 1/4" seam is accurate. At wit's end. Thank you for any help!
