I use Ricky Tims method. You have to be very careful with the quilting, if you are doing it by machine.

I followed a super-easy flying geese pattern once but they didn't turn out the same size--my fault, I know. Just watched a video showing how to use the FG ruler--each one comes out same size. Think I'll make it my next quilt-related purchase.

I have watched the Ricky Timms method at least 6 times, and am dying to try....but havent had the time yet. I just finished a quilt, so I may be able to this coming November vacation time.....

I prefer the second method shown here. I've done lots of flying geese this way. Fast and very accurate.

The neat thing about this method is you don't need any specialty ruler and you can
make FG any size you want.

i use Alex Anderson's method---explained in her book---Keep Quilting with Alex Anderson- a book of star sampler blocks- i had problems with flying geese blocks-and avoided them like the plague until i learned this method- now i don't mind them at all- they always come out well-and fairly quickly=
sometimes i foundation piece them-if i am doing long rows of them- that's easier - more precise if you are doing alot in a row.

Here's a PDF for the No Waste Method with a handy chart for those interested.

Would love for some one to do a tutorial with these rulers. I am considering them.

I worked at El's Quilt in a Day store in San Marcos, CA for almost 6 years. Loved working there, but "retired" this year after my husband retired as "work" got in the way of our traveling!!I also avoided making flying geese El's way as I thought it to be labor intensive. Then I was at a QIAD retreat and making one of El's patterns that required flying geese. So I dove in, used her Flying Geese ruler and I have not turned back! Her method is the BEST way to make flying geese and the flying geese come out perfect every time. I have changed other patterns and used her method of making flying geese whenever I can because they are truly worth the extra work!!!

I also use EB method. If your sewing is off a little, you can correct it. Remember, you get FOUR of them with every two squares you sew together. GOOD LUCK.

And I have avoided them because, mine don't look right.
