Great tutorial! Thanks!

i have to try this myself ,i like this method thank you for your well explained tutorial

This is terrific. I will be trying this method as I love Flying Geese. Love it when a quilter develops a faster, easier way to do something.

I thought I had posted to this thread a while back, but can't find it now. When making them this way, most of the outside strips is wasted. Only four of the geese use a little out of those strips. I would leave off the end strips, cut the geese, and then add the triangle "wing" to the four geese that need it. Much less fabric waste.

good idea. You can also add more strips to make more geese at the same time. Or you can change your fabric for each strip to get a scrappy look.

She attached a PDF of her instructions in post #29.

Wondering if there's any way to cut the strips so the bias edges are not on the outside seams?

Can't wait to try this out method.

Bold print reminding to press seams open is really useful!

the only way to do that is to start with bias strips at the beginning. I find it easier to sew small bias pieces than long bias strips. Hope that answers your question.

Interesting way of making flying geese. I like using the no waste method, but might have to give this one a try.

I've had real good luck printing only what I want printed by highlighting what I want, and maybe a little more, then pressing Control C for copy. I minimize that screen by clicking on that little minus sign in the top right corner. Then I go to Word. When the blank page comes up, I press Control V, for paste. What I had highlighted comes up on the screen. Now you can edit it: erase what you don't want and type in information you might need. Now press Control P for print and you have your document just as you want it.
Hope this helps.

Anita Hallock illustrated this strip-piecing method for flying geese and triangles in her books Fast Patch Kids Quilts and Scrap Quilts: a treasury of Strip Quilt projects. I have all her books and made several of her quilts using this method. She was way ahead of her time when it comes to strip-piecing!! :)

Thank you! I have been busting my brains every now and then coming back to this thread and also searching online, at the same time knowing I had seen this before.
I can sleep now....

You are welcome....I also had no rest until I paged through Anita's books :D :D :D

Just made some 1 x 2 Flying Geese... tiny but this method worked

Carla, I think you're a genius! thanks for posting this, just the kind of "trick" I love! :thumbup:
I have one for 4-patches that friend came up with 20 years ago, but don't want to hijack your thread.

I will give it a try.

I love to see new ways that people find to make things easier and faster. Thanks for this idea

wow ...can't wait to try this
