I had seen this OSFG quite a while ago & plan to do a quilt with it, but hadn't thought of the possibilities. I love the new application to squares, & with the folded concept...you can make your square in a square any size, even floating. Great!!!

Question on the one-seam flying geese. When they are sewn together....where is the 1/4" seam allowance on the tip of the triangle? Does that mean I sew the tip into the next block? Confusing.

This is great, I must live in a cocoon because I have never seen it before. Can hardly wait to try this . Thanks so much for sharing.

I have used this method and the flying geese come out perfect every time. The judges in a quilt show I entered remarked on how it gave the quilt another dimension since the edges of the flying geese block are not sewn down.

It gives you your seam allowance...The folded colored triangle point is below the edge. Take another look.
Try it.
