Flying Geese formula
Is there a formula for making flying geese, I can make flying geese using both methods but prefer the method of placing two squares on top of a larger square to make four flying geese. I am looking for a method of making them without the use of a pattern. Does this make sense? If I am making a eight pointed star and I want the block to be 8.5 finished, what is the formula. Or if I am making a 11.5 inch finished block what size of squares do I need to make it. I hope this makes sense.

Here are some common sizes for Flying Geese.

Draw your star on graph paper to figure out what size flying geese you need.
A 12 inch finished block would be a lot easier to figure out than 11.5" finished
but if that's what you need...

Geese are usually twice the width such as finished 2"x4", 3"x6". I use the Eleanor Burns method. REALLY SIMPLE and they come out perfect every time. And what even makes it better, when you start with the two squares, you end up with a set of 4 flying geese......

But don't you end up with bias edges around each one? EasyPeezy's method also makes 4 at a time with no bias edges.
