Paper pieced flying geese
1 Attachment(s)
If I paper piece this, what order do I sew? (Ignore my stray line)

Start with the bottom triangle....and add left side triangle then right side triangle...then the next triangle above it and so on..
|
You would work from right to left, starting with the large triangle, or as tellabella posted, turn the block 90 degrees clockwise, so the large geese triangles point up.
|
To PP FG I would invest in the Blocloc rulers. I recently bought some and love them. Perfect FG and no paper to remove.

You might be interested in this tutorial. I found it very helpful when I paper pieced a flying geese border. http://www.generations-quilt-pattern...ing-geese.html

Why not just make individual fg and sew together.....would seem a lot easier, les stress, less fabric waste...cut all rectangles, squares,sew up and done.....that's what I would do....I only pp if there is no other way to accomplish some look.

I just made a bunch of them yesterday, using the quilterscache.com templates: http://quilterscache.com/B/BlankPPTemplatesPage.html -- there are also instructions for making them using the traditional method and speed piecing method: http://quilterscache.com/H/Howtomakegeese.html

Great source for nearly any block.

Because I have made them a dozen ways, hate most, like paper piecing and I want them to be accurate. It would not be less stress for me.

Thank you. Don't know what I was thinking-this is the idea I copied but they didn't have the odd size "set of four" I need. Forgot all about going back and looking at their "assembly numbers" after I drew my own out.
