I learned two things late last night when I went into my stash closet. First, I have GOT to get more organized so I know what I have. I actually have Eleanor Burns' Flying Geese rules...duh! Second, I know when to throw in the towel. I discovered that I have more of the fabrics that I'm using for this quilt, and I'm just going to start over, rather than continue to pull my hair out!

This one is super easy! No rulers or gadgets needed, no bias edges and no waste! I just make them a bit bigger and trim to size.

I cannot make a flying geese that isn't wonky unless I use Ricky Tims method. You have to have the pieces cut out, so you are in luck. Google it. I don't know how to put it on this post. But it is foolproof. I promise.

Check on Bonnie Hunter's website Quiltville.com she recommends a ruler ( I have it - just can't remember name) and it really works. BTW it's not her ruler and she doesn't profit from the sale either.

Its the same piecing method as Deb uses, but it has the formula for cutting sizes. This is nice when you have an odd size, or as I sometimes to, I WING it...Maybe using up a panel and I need a few flying geese to fit. You would have to trim down with a regular ruler,tho. If my geese measurements match up with Deb's finished geese, I prefer her ruler.
