    Beverly: Thank you for this website. I've been watching Ricky Tims do his one seam flying geese block for the past hour, over and over and over again as I HATE making flying geese but think I will LOVE this technique. Will give it a try this afternoon and see what I think. Anyway,
    thanks. I appreciate your sharing, caring heart.

    This is on the website of the link posted above:


    Making Geese in Any Size, The Formula:

    You can make your Flying Geese in any size using the following formula:

    Size of squares = 1/2 inch larger than the desired finished height of the overall unit.

    Height of the rectangle = same as the squares you cut.

    Width of the rectangle = width of square times two minus 1/2 inch.

    In other words, if you cut 2" squares, you would cut the rectangle 2" x 3.5"

    Pretty simple, and great look. But it does use twice as much fabric. . .

    Thanks for the post. I finally was able to watch it where I am not on dial up! :lol:

    You can fix the pocket problem by sewing it down like Cathedral Windows and have a curved seam! That doesn't help the LAQs tho! :?

    I saw a wall hanging the other day using columns of these geese. It was for a child and it had things like small pictures inserted in the flaps. It was really a cute way to store/display small items. I can't remember where I saw it and didn't save it as it was an easy concept. between the columns of geese was solid strips.
