I have made these several times from your previous posting and I just love doing it. Who knows why, but they add such interesting movement in the quilt and are such fun to make. Thanks for sharing this technique, I really appreciate it!

My day is complete when I know that I have made someone else's day or life a bit easier, more interesting, or better <wave> |
I agree that starch is our friend here.
I've just done two samples of these lovely little geese. The first one I did without spray starch, and it went veering over to the right... very messy, and definitely no longer on the straight of grain. When I did the second set, I starched the square and triangle together lightly (I use a homemade spray starch, of 250 ml water and 1.5 teaspoons of potato flour) before started any sewing. The result was a lot better, straighter, and on a nice flight path, but the danger of veering off is always there. How you press and starch them seems to me to be very important. |
Thanks so much.
