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 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:

Hope that's clear. :-D
