Julie, I looked at this link. I think it is very clever!

I was practicing flying geese with my Jodi Barrows ruler when I ran across Pam Bono's technique. They are pretty much the same except that with Pam's the seam allowances are out of the way. I liked it better. Its really just a matter of preference..when you get done no matter what way you choose..you will be an expert. =)

It may have crossed my mind a time or two.

thepolyparrot, Your work is so beautiful, so nice and neat!

Try my cut down method. It is fast and easy!

I make half square triangles and then I sew two together and you have a flying geese unit.

But, Rhonda, that is still over 3000 half-square triangles.

No matter how you do it the numbers aren't going to change. You still will have to make that huge number of units involved. The differance is in how you chose to work it.

I cut strips and do it assembly line style. I cut several at a time. Then I sew the strips assembly line style. I sew them flag style. THen cut them apart. then cut out the HSTs assembly line style. the use them however I choose to use them.

We do thousands of them at a time this way. I have sold to a local gift shop for 12 years and we do alot of these ahead and store them. I have organizers full of HSTs sorted by color.

When you do it assembly line or flag style you save time and it is less of a hassle. you aren't precisely cutting anything out but the square. No triangle cutting or lots of trimming. No dogears. Little to no waste.

I'm sorry, but I don't see a picture of the quilt pattern you're using. Would love to see what you're going to make. Haven't tackled any flying geese yet, but I sure love to look at them.
