What's your favorite way to make flying geese?
#31
The Ricky Timms version makes a 3 D flying geese. The quilting keeps them closed. There is extra fabric on the back of the geese. I usually don't make the geese unit bigger then 3" so the fabric isn't that much.

If I need mulitple geese with both 'wings' the same fabric, I like this method: http://www.patchpieces.com/files/flyinggeese.pdf There is no waste. I size them up a bit then trim to get it just right. Just got Wing Clipper...so will try that for the trimming. Eleanor Burns has a method for getting a different color on the wings too.

I think she meant that with the one seam method, you have three layers of fabric in the geese. I always thought that was a waste of fabric also, but now have see it done with those bias edges folded down a bit and stitched in an arc. Sure adds a wonderful dimension to a quilt.
