    Default Contemplating Flying Geese

    I saw a pattern today that uses half square triangles. Would this look goofy to you? I am trying to make it easy on myself.

    Also, I am considering making it scrappy....very scrappy.

    Lots of people make their flying geese blocks with 1/2 square triangles blocks. Nothing weird about it

    I used the tips I cut off my stars and made HST. Then made flying geese for this border[ATTACH=CONFIG]611134[/ATTACH]Everyone seems to like it. Does it look 'goofy' to you?

    There are many ways to make flying geese. You just figure out which way you prefer. As for scrappy, the 1/2 sq triangles may work best. Love to see what you come up with.

    If it helps you made flying geese go for it! They can be problematic.
