Rookie quilter here, does anyone have a good tutorial to make flying geese? I have no idea where to even start. Thanks.

I think I figured it out. I took a rectangle 3.5"×6" and two squares 3.5"×3.5", I then sewed on square, cut off the 2 corners, flipped and pressed and did the same with the other one., There was lots of trimming, but I got it to 3" × 5.5", is this right?

Either you cut or wrote the wrong sizes here. You were to cut the rectangles 3 x 5 1/2 and the squares 3 x 3. At least that's what I read... let me go check for sure...

It looks right but looks like you need to square it up. Sew the corners on, then turn it over and cut off the extra using the green rectangle as your guide.

yes, your green piece should be cut at 3 x 5 1/2 and the floral would be 3 x 3. That's what I meant about it being an odd size for Flying Geese. They are usually cut at 3 1/2 x 6 1/2 to finish at 3x6. I've never seen them at 3 x 5 1/2 before but that's what this project calls for. But it looks like you figured out the 'sew and flip' method for attaching the squares.

See, I was confused, it said base cut in one place and unfinished geese size in another, so which is it?

Yep, Snowball to me means all four corners being sewn and flipped. There is then a round snowball in the center. I wondered if you would remember the sew and flip from the monthly bee. Figured you might! Tom-A-to, Tom-aw-to, Pot-A-to, Po-taw-to, all means the same, just depends on what area you're from I guess. :D

Jan that was a good explanation you posted. I wish someone had explained it to me that way along time ago. lol.
