I've seen Ricky Timms method of "one seam flying geese" too & love it.

Since I found Patchpieces method I've never used anything else. Very fast and no waste what so ever.

I'm unfamiliar with this method, and didn't find it in an internet search. Can you describe how it works?

My favorite (for now)

Have you tried the BlocLoc rulers? They are brilliant for trimming down your flying geese. Come in many sizes.

Thank you! I do know that method, as it turns out. I just didn't recognize it by the name "Patchpieces method".

I like this method or the one shown on connecting threads tut...Eleanor Burns taught the method on connecting threads many years ago.. I like methods that lets you make different size geese and both of these do.
