Paper piecers. What order?
 

New at this pp thing.
What order would you pp this in? Or do you do the geese individually and then sew them together? Can't figure out how you'd do it otherwise.
Thanks.

The pattern doesn't really give much in the way of instructions does it? I think you would PP the geese first then add the arc. Make sure to over cut the arc pieces to make sure you have enough fabric. If it were me, I would try one quarter with scraps first just to be safe.

I did find this blog that gives a color picture (scroll down)

Or here is a link to a slightly easier version of circling geese without having to deal with the curves

Good luck and be sure to show how it goes!

PS Leave 1/4 inch seam allowance on the "sky" parts of the lease so you can attach it to the curves.

here is an example of the paper piecing order for flying geese. http://www.guidepatterns.com/wp-cont...ng-Pattern.jpg

I'd start with the triangle at the bottom, put on one side and the second, and then the next triangle, then the two sides, and on- until getting to the top.

I would not do them as separate FG and then sew them together trying to keep the arc and center point correct.

Once the FG arc is done, I'd trim and remove all the paper, then sew the inner and outer parts on to make the square.

I bought "Catch Me If You Can" and have all the fabric, but have not started it yet.

I got one of those circle flying geese blocks in the recent swap i was in. see it in my quilt blocks?

i like thiose cioloirs used... reminds me of watermelons LOL

I think this one gives the clearest answer, if you use the numbers as provided on your curved model.

That makes sense. Thanks!

Macybaby...I just looked at the Catch Me If You Can quilt. That's ridiculous! Please share your progress once you start.

This is exactly the order I was going to suggest as well.
