I had a lot of flying geese to make for a guild challenge quilt and didn't have a lot of time. I used the One Seam Flying Geese method. Easiest flying geese I ever made and fast. There is some waste but I needed save time not fabric.

I like the one seam method too. The 'pockets' can be flipped back and stitched making curved flying geese. So many design ideas using them. I would stitch the pockets closed if sending to a long armer. They are super fast to make and perfect everytime. Sometimes saving time is more important then saving fabric.

I have the Eleanor Burns FG rulers and love using them. I have all sizes and use them all the time with great ease.

But how is it saving time if you have to sew all of those little pockets closed?

I would like a FG ruler that has a GPS on it. I've got a pile of FG made and I can't find my ruler. I found the creative grids one, but it doesn't have the size I want. ( 2" x 3 1/2) What tub did I hide that in?????

I should have explained. If the LA gets it I use a basting glue to hold them shut and the quilting will hold them shut. She says I don't have but I know it saves her some hassle. When I fold them to be curved then I top stitch the curve before giving to LA. It's really fast and simple to do. If I quilt it my self, then I sew them down as I quilt it.

Sorry to say that I can't recommend Deb Tucker's wing clipper ruler. I cut a complete lap quilt with this ruler and I've been having a devil of a time assembling it. I followed her directions exactly and couldn't get the lines to match up and now the 1/4" seams are not lining up at assembly either.

I usually oversize mine and then use the Bloc Loc ruler to trim. There are u tube videos on this.
