Pam Bono shows a unique way that is very fast and fun. You can see her on you tube.

I just got an email from Martingale about this. They had 4 different methods. I like the old stand-by, squares sewn onto a rectangle, but I've also done it as 2 HST squares. I think Eleanor Burns' method looks interesting, too.

i use method 3 of Alex Anderson's method from her book 'Keep on Quilting' it works great for me- i hated making them until i learned this technique- you start with a 1 large square & 4 small squares- 2 of the small squares go into diagonal corners of the large square- stitch on both sides of the diagonal- cut in the center- press- add next small square on corner that needs it- stitch on both sides- cut- press- 4 flying geese- all done - there are probably tutorials actually showing this technique- it changed everything for me- before this i would do anything to not have to make flying geese - now i do them on purpose.
i also like foundation piecing them- especially long rows of small ones.

Flying geese are used so much that anything that makes them easier and accurate are worth the money.
After trying many different ways I found Quilt In A Day rulers method the easiest and most accurate.
Eleanor Burns is the leader in innovative ways to do quilting.
Less cutting than the method of all those little squares
