Use this method all the time...no waste flying geese! |
I was practicing flying geese with my Jodi Barrows ruler when I ran across Pam Bono's technique. They are pretty much the same except that with Pam's the seam allowances are out of the way. I liked it better. Its really just a matter of preference..when you get done no matter what way you choose..you will be an expert. =)

It may have crossed my mind a time or two.

thepolyparrot, Your work is so beautiful, so nice and neat!

Try my cut down method. It is fast and easy!
I make half square triangles and then I sew two together and you have a flying geese unit. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-37915-1.htm |
But, Rhonda, that is still over 3000 half-square triangles.

I cut strips and do it assembly line style. I cut several at a time. Then I sew the strips assembly line style. I sew them flag style. THen cut them apart. then cut out the HSTs assembly line style. the use them however I choose to use them. We do thousands of them at a time this way. I have sold to a local gift shop for 12 years and we do alot of these ahead and store them. I have organizers full of HSTs sorted by color. When you do it assembly line or flag style you save time and it is less of a hassle. you aren't precisely cutting anything out but the square. No triangle cutting or lots of trimming. No dogears. Little to no waste. |
I'm sorry, but I don't see a picture of the quilt pattern you're using. Would love to see what you're going to make. Haven't tackled any flying geese yet, but I sure love to look at them.
