no Tippy this is a great way to do it and not have the "Y" seams. Just sew the middle cross section separate from the other sides, it will look like 2 triangles with a short side of the cross, then you can sew the 2 side onto the center cross section. no "Y" seams doing it that way.

I tried Ricky Tims method also...love it. I even recalculated and made small sizes. This is such a time saver. Watch the UTube.

I make flying geese by making a square in a square (using the square in a square ruler, makes it so easy) and cutting them in half. Eliminates the need to make triangles completely.

Is that the ruler that is almost $30? If I am off on that price, could you send a link to where we'd get one?

I will give it a try. Right now I am working on the border first. (A new thing for me). I am piecing it to make chevrons and using up my scrap box at the same time. Since it is a scrap quit--I figured it was time to stretch a little for a different kind of border. :-P

Judy,
How do you get your name on the bottom of your messages?
Is it an attached picture or something?

I am sorry I do not remember and can not find the paper that I printed off on how to. Maybe do a search, or ask the question on the Main section. I know I had gotten the information from this board to do it though.
I'll keep looking but I think it (the paper) got thrown away.
Sorry..
