I love making flying geese units, but have only used them in certain blocks in sampler quilts (Sawtooth Star, Dutchman's Puzzle). I would love to see all the ways you have used flying geese. Oh, and that's another question! Is one unit a flying goose??

Don't know, but you sure have a gaggle of pretty ones!

ohhhhhhhhhh pretty!!

Here is a picture of the Scrappy Flying Geese border I made on my very first quilt, a kingsize sampler,no pattern, just started making various blocks and made it fit our 5' bed! The geese were paper pieced in blocks of 6 if I remember correctly then stitched together :-D

I am off to check out yours now, your fabric choices are so pretty!

Izy...love the colours in your quilt.

doowopddbop..love your flying geese, haven't made any yet myself.

geese all around!!

Oh, Izy and Nativetexan, we are off to a good start! They really look stunning running around the border like that!

The geese have landed and they are all lovely.

Love all the geese flying around, and the quilt colours are lovely.

I would like to know which sewing technique everyone either prefers, or thinks makes the least amount of waste fabric. I usually use the oblong and two smaller squares method, but have also been wondering about trying the one with a large and small square, which I've seen Eleanor Burns use.

Anyone any idea which is the most economical?

Here are a couple of quilts I have used flying geese on. The blue quilt is just a quilt top still to be quilted.
