There seems to be a strip of fabric between the flying geese. I'm sure there are other ways!

Card Trick isn't hard to make into a paper pieced pattern, just get a piece of graph paper and go for it.

Funny, someone else did it the same time as I did. Here is what I came up with.
They can all be half square triangles. Then a border around the star, the border is about half the width of the small sashin on the outside border. And small sashing in center of outside geese border. multiple blocks seem same as orig pic [ATTACH=CONFIG]179668[/ATTACH] one block, updated, neetened up a little [ATTACH=CONFIG]179696[/ATTACH] |
I just studied this area of snippet in PhotoShop on my Mac, and enhanced a screenshot... I am not seeing the additional border... so could they have done a 2-pc-fabric for the part of the HST where it looks like there is a small gap between the little triangles?

You can make it the way others have shown it, however, they do not take into consideration the extra row of flying geese on the outside blocks. If you make it that way, you would have to add flying geese to the setting triangles. OK, this has worn me out. I'm happy with our rendition of the block. |

If you make it that way, you would have to add flying geese to the setting triangles. OK, this has worn me out. I'm happy with our rendition of the block. So, I tried just doing the one side & bottom, then making it into an entire quilt, and came up with the same problem! Finally I found if we did a setting triangle, it works. We would then need make corner setting triangles with 2 sets of the side geese. my reworked block doing only side & bottom [ATTACH=CONFIG]179919[/ATTACH] to make up the missing piece in the setting triangle [ATTACH=CONFIG]179920[/ATTACH] top is right using new block, but sides still wrong [ATTACH=CONFIG]179921[/ATTACH] but, if use the first block, with only single geese on all 4 sides, then add setting triangle... [ATTACH=CONFIG]179922[/ATTACH] it comes out right! Finally! [ATTACH=CONFIG]179924[/ATTACH] CORNER SETTING TRI [ATTACH=CONFIG]179934[/ATTACH] oops, wrong graphic for final before, now is right [ATTACH=CONFIG]179953[/ATTACH] |
