Can anyone recommend a good tutorial for this? I have tried multiple different ways of making these crazy things, and they never come out the same, and nine times out of ten, the point gets cut off by the seam. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Of course, I could just continue to avoid making them!

I use Eleanor Burns method. Yes, I did buy the rulers, but the geese always ​turn out perfectly. :-) Not sure if there's a Youtube or not.

Thank you for the websites. I'm going to go check them out. Rebeljane - that looks like the PERFECT way to do them, but unfortunately I've already cut out the squares and rectangles. Ugh.

Since you have already cut out the squares and rectangles, there is one method I heard of that may help. After you mark the diagonal line on the square, pinned it to the rectangle and sewed on the line, you press the square back, but you DO NOT cut the excess off. I don't remember the name of the person who came up with this, but she said that by cutting the excess, you are cutting off the part of the rectangle that gives you the correct size. I guess you could cut off the excess of the square and leave the rectangle whole. That would eliminate some bulk without losing the size.

Do you leave on for ever? So you have. 3/4 layers of fabric before the wadding and back fabric. Wow does this upset FMQ.

I love Deb Tucker's ruler for flying geese. Watch her video on youtube.

I consider myself an accomplished quilter, and have made many geese. I agree with MaureenNJ - I purchased Deb Tucker's FG ruler, and love love love it.

I agree with y'all. No matter how I make flying geese, they won't all come out perfect. The only solution for me is to make them larger and cut them down with Deb's ruler. It works.
