The only problem with this method is the open pockets on either side of the "geese". How can you quilt over the whole block without getting your foot stuck in the pocket?

You can topstitch them down. Like cathedral windows.

Gosh, I would have a hard time choosing my newest favorite is a quilt I am just finishing and that is the Drunkard's Path. I think the one I have made the most over the years should rank as a favorite and that is the Missouri Star. I fell in love with this block in the late 80's and have made a number of quilts with this block. I could most likely do it blind folded now.

I top stitch them down. I don't curve them. I stitch the pockets down before using the geese in a block. ​​​​​​ The last few I made I glue basted the pockets down and the LA didn't have a problem quilting right over them.

Bear Paw and Hovering Hawks.

That is one glorious bear-paw quilt and the flying hawks is equally striking in a pattern i've not seen before. I think bear-paw might be my favorite pattern too but I don't have much luck with them.. points aren't ever right. Yours are -!

those are terrific quilts

But doesn't that defeat the "one seam" advantage? You end up making 3 seams, whereas you'd only make two if you made your geese a more tradional way. Plus you'd have topstitching showing. (Just trying to understand what the advantage is with the folded one seam geese technique... I don't see any.)

IceLeopard, those are gorgeous quilts!

My favourite block to make is New York Beauty.

My favourite sit-down-and-make-a-bunch block is string blocks.
