I have seen that one before...I love all the different tutorials that are on youtube. Missouri quilt company has lots of them. I found one for the 10 minute quilt block by Suzanne McNeill. It was so quick and easy. I made a twin size quilt in about 4 hours!! I gave it to my SS at church. Here's a photo of it.
Thanks for sharing. Linda B.

Just posted a 10 min block duckie for neonatal incubator. but it doesn't show the work involved. looks like just large pieces of fabric an accent..

I do like Missouri Quilt tutorials.

That is it !! you used the same tuturial ! I like that you used the sashing in the accent square. ! I don't think people see the work in this.. the squares match so very well and the accent looks like a patch. I think if I do this again. I will use contrasting squares to show the work.

Thanks for posting !!

This IS so very cool. It is just 1/2 of the 10-minute block :-)

I had seen this OSFG quite a while ago & plan to do a quilt with it, but hadn't thought of the possibilities. I love the new application to squares, & with the folded concept...you can make your square in a square any size, even floating. Great!!!

Question on the one-seam flying geese. When they are sewn together....where is the 1/4" seam allowance on the tip of the triangle? Does that mean I sew the tip into the next block? Confusing.

Neat idea! Thanks for sharing!

This is great, I must live in a cocoon because I have never seen it before. Can hardly wait to try this . Thanks so much for sharing.

I have used this method and the flying geese come out perfect every time. The judges in a quilt show I entered remarked on how it gave the quilt another dimension since the edges of the flying geese block are not sewn down.

Love this new method!

It gives you your seam allowance...The folded colored triangle point is below the edge. Take another look.
Try it.

Love the 3-D effect.

Yes, you are so right. I need to try it....will do. I am so excited. First block I ever did was a Cathedral Window. So this looks easier.
Thanks for responding.

You might look at the Suzanne McNeill-youtube video as well. It is somewhat related. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgAZ3_xdkGw. You should be able to vary the height of the folded piece to make the center square on point larger or smaller if desired for a different look.

On the Ricky Timms video (The Quilt Show), he made his squares 3" & then his rectangle 5.5" (so center piece folded in half would be 2-3/4" ) leaving the 1/4" seam allowance at the tip. If you wanted to make your geese floating, you could cut your rectangle @ 5" (folding would leave 2-1/2" ). For beginners or those who just want to make faster time, your points will still be there, just not intersecting the base of the next triangle.
