As I see them (with old jaded eyes) I see Pinwheels. They are the same as when made with Triangle Half Squares. Why do I say that? I have made 3 quilts using Trangle Half Squares so I have looked at enough of them to recognize them.
I want to add Flying Geese to a quilt border and feel intimidated by making them the "traditional" way. (if there is a Traditional mehod)
If they were arranged in a different way, they would look more like Flying Geese, but I have never seen Flying Geese in this "formation." Sorry, not meant as criticism, just a clarification for the way I view these photos.

Beautiful fabric and the workmanship looks good! When I do Flying Geese the regular way they are always lop-sided. I've been intending to try thr easy method and I've seen several ways to do this. Your's do well under inspection and you can be proud. :P

You will notice, there are two different fabrics for the pinwheel parts. red and blue. In whole, these fabrics are very 'angry'. Cut and placed into this context, it seems the anger has gone away and leaves just the energy.

Tim, I would say you are not afraid of a little color. Wow! Great fabrics!
I do like the pattern and can hardly wait to see the finished quilt. Hurry! :lol: How many flying geese? :lol: Personally, I dislike making geese but I do like looking at them.

128 little geese flying in formation. As far as color, only the white scares me on this quilt. I am hoping it blends in when the whole thing comes together.
