It was mention here on the board that long arm quilters have difficulty doing their job if you use this type of flying geese.

What awesome way to make them...thanks for the link!

Some day, I am promising (threatening?) myself, I will make a quilt with lots of flying geese. I really do like them.

Kitty, I love this and have watched it several times and did it with the measurements he has given. I finally experimented and figured out the square sizes for the 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 finished piece I wanted. Do you know if there is a formula to make different sizes. If he said, I don't hear it when I watch the video. It is a great process and one I will use from now on. It just took me quite a while to get the size I wanted. Thanks. Jan
