Last week I just got done making 120 flying geese for the border on a quilt, 40 on each side. And they all are perfect --- I was so proud, especially since my ordinary square pieced blocks seem to always be different sizes. I did them via paper piecing Whenever I do a quilt with points, this is the only way for me to do them, and I love it. You can just google flying geese paper piece and get patterns that way. I have a lot of paper piecing software as well as EQ and books. I then print them out on newspaper print paper (from pads from local craft store). Karen

With the R Tims style, you could also roll the middle back like a cathedral window type quilt. Of course, once on youtube I had to investigate the other methods and found another one where you end up with a row of geese rather than single geese. Pretty cool, although the video nearly put me to sleep!
