I use Quilt In A Day's Flying Geese ruler (the small one, mostly) for making flying geese, cutting the fabric squares a smidge larger than the instructions say, since I like a little wiggle room. They come out super-accurate, and if you have directional fabric, the four geese come out perfectly ... all facing the right way so you can put one on each side of a block (like in a Sawtooth Star block). And there's almost no wasted fabric, other than the smidgens I trim off!

Here's a link with a video (no affiliation). Warning: On my computer, the video starts playing automatically, so if you're in a library or other quiet place, you might want to quickly hit the pause or volume button.

I've been getting my sewing room ready for when the F8s arrive. My fabric is scattered EVERYWHERE, even in the guest bedroom. It's almost like getting birthday gifts, though, when I find "new" fabric that I forgot I had!
