My first post on this board was about how I do flying geese. I LOVE them. Must be the way I do it. I didn't have a camera at that time so someone else came up with them in http://www.patchpieces.com/files/flyinggeese.pdf
My original post is entitles Flying Geese Discussion. Take a look. No fancy rulers. Very little math. And I get perfect results every time - and that's a Lot of Times!

Try paper piecing them. Takes the frustration out it. Here is a link of different sizes you can try.

I lay the square on the background fabric and mark the diagonal on that square (not the background). Then I sew just a thread or two off the line (toward the edge - not the center). When I sew right on the line I don't seem to have enough to press back. I also do not trim through both layers when the square is attached. I only trim the triangle half of the background suare. That way when I press it back and it is off by a little, I stil have the original size of the background rectangle.

I just finished 96 using this method. They came out very nicely after I scraped a few finding the correct size squares to cut to get my desired finished size.
