    Quilt In A Day rulers for flying geese are worth the cost to make 4 perfect flying geese at a time. I have collected all sizes and use them alot. Each ruler is for 2 size geese.

    the best flying geese method ive found is the ricky tims version go to utube and check it out there is minimal triming involved to square it up and its so easy i couldnt even mess it up which is really saying something lol. the best thing is you can watch it as many times as you need to get it down. lol ive got a flying geese quilt on my bucket list now ive always wanted to make one but just never could master the flying geese and as frustrated as i used to get over them
    i figured it would never happen. but now it can.

    Get Eleanor Burns flying geese ruler and her directions. Quilt in a Day. The best ever. They always are a bit bigger and you trim down. Perfect every time.

    Check out Eleanor Burns videos. I watched her program the other night and she had a very slick way of doing FG.

    If you Google "flying geese" and "Ricky Tims" with YouTube, you will see a great way to make flying geese. I have hated flying geese, but I have made hundreds in just a couple of day using his fast method. You make them with one seam and it is like magic.
