Thanks for the info Feathers! I also watched the video and was wondering the same thing as Loretta -- what the heck to do with that pocket when quilting. If they were very large, I think they wouldn't look very good when washed unless you ironed the quilt...

I've used this method for a final border on two quilts, what fun and so easy. Thanks for the tutorial!

Thank you sew much for the tut and pic. I want to try this tonight.

a quilt made using these geese should hold up under regular use as well as any other.

if i made one, i'd quilt around the geese so they would still "flap". to really enhance the 3-dimensional look, i might even do a bit of quilting under the flaps. a competent long-armer would simply have to pay attention. ;-)

I must be Flying Geese challenged. Thought I had it down the first time I studied it, now a few days later can't figure it out. :)

Will have to try this method. I did some flying geese recently and had problems with getting them the right size. Guess I need more practice on diagonal seams. :)

The curved pieces can be stitched through all layers of the fabrics, so there isn't any pocket anymore. It still gives a nice dimentional affect to the piece

If you do a search on Youtube.com for 3D faux cathedral window, you will see a wonderful tutorial that could be used as a separate block. It looks just like the real thing, but you don't have to connect them to sew in your middle piece. I can see a lot of possiblities for these. The construction is a lot like the one seam flying geese, but there are two seams.

Youtube.com also has a video for the one seam flying geese if you need more help.

I'm having trouble seeing your written instructions. Is there any way you could type them or block letter the instructions to make it easier to read. It would be greatly appreciated!!!!!
