What exactly is this Flying Geese Method
 

I want to make the River Trees Quilt and I see people referring to the Fast 45 Flying Geese method. What exactly is that? I tried a "Google" search and no one ever said that their method was the "Fast 45". What is it?

Thanks in advance.

I've never heard of fast 45. But the fast flying geese method is fast and accurate. If you don't know this one google again or a lot of the magazines show how to do it in their basics section.

Fellow member Jo M posted about her beautiful River Trees quilt in 2013 at this link:

She also used the 'fast 45' method details of which she says can be found with the free pattern and she provides a link. The link did not work for me so I'm guessing it is no longer valid. In that case, what about contacting Jo M direct and asking her?

I found this page from AQS with a link to her method, but it stated it was a quick 4 FG , not 45. One has to be a paid subscriber to their site to access the page so I will not be bothering. Here's the link if anyone is a subscriber and wants to look. Just read a bit to find it

p.s. perhaps 4.5" was meant.

There is a youtube video by Pam Bono showing how she makes FG in a column. Look up
"A Quilter's Choice" Amazing NEW Technique for Flying Geese"
I couldnt figure out how to copy the link. It is a bit repetetive but an interesting way of doing these units.

When it comes to flying geese, I love my flying geese ruler. I bought it from Debbie McInnis Thompson, the designer of the BOW Autumn Evenings and Rest and Refreshing. Its marked in black and red and I had trouble seeing the red on some red fabric, but after a flock of geese, I get it. I'll try to post some pics.

P.S. to nannykins8 I sooooo miss Pam Bono.

http://www.auntiesatticquiltshop.com/TQL-pattern-43.pdf link worked for me. Another pattern for my bucket list!!!

Eleanor burns of quilt in a day has a way of doing 4 fg at a time...I'm sure their are others who do it the sane way...check out you tube

I found the River Trees pattern for flying geese on the AQS web site. It uses paper piecing to construct the 4 connected flying geese units. Nothing magic there...

If it makes 4 at a time, look up the "No Waste" method. Easy and accurate.
