My beginner students find this method to be the easiest for accuracy. Go to http://www.allpeoplequilt.com for patterns that use this method. Hope this helps.

I use the Eleanor Burns ruler and they come out perfect if you keep that scant 1/4 "

If you are coming close with the four at a time method - I would stick with it. It's the only way I do flying geese - even when they are just variable star points. Everywhere I can find them! Obviously - my preference!
|
Have you considered the no waste flying geese method. I haven't had any trouble using this.
|
I just posted "Flying Geese..." tutorial in the tutes section. Don't see the second part! Hope it helps.
|
If I want them to be right I paper piece them. No matter what size. This has ended my frustration.
|
I needed to make tons of little teeny tiny ones, so I PP'd them. One of my better decisions. Thats how I make all mine now...or you could use the Ricky Timms method- thats really easy too.
