so many different way.wondering what you think is best..

A bit wasteful but accurate for me - cut rectangle and squares to required sizes, draw diagonal lines on squares. Place squares on each end of the rectangle, sew on drawn lines and trim 1/4 in. from drawn line.

Exactly how I do it. I don't think you can get away without being wasteful with flying geese. |
I use the no waste way with 1 large square and 4 small squares.

I use the quick method on Quilter's Cache http://www.quilterscache.com/H/Howtomakegeese.html which works for multiple units of the same kind of geese. I have been meaning to try the Ricky Tims one seam method as well but haven't got round to it yet. :mrgreen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78Mu0C_QL8Y
This is something he learned in England... :mrgreen: PS I also love that he 'breaks rules' ie, measures with the mat and cuts towards him! So I'm in good company. :mrgreen: :lol: PPS - What I also LOVE about Ricky Tims is in his words 'he is all about creativity' - ie he gives techniques and ideas, not patterns. I find him very inspiring. Sorry, Ricky Tims fan club here. :mrgreen: :lol: |
Ricky Timms' way is very easy but makes 3D geese or as Mary EllenHopkins called her "Loose Goose".

I like the Ricky Tims' method. It is pretty cool. I'm not sure how to change the sizes to make larger or smaller.
