I had seen this method of constructing Flying Geese units on various blogs in the past, but it looked way too complicated for me, so I never bothered to give it a try. However, the directions for a quilt I'm currently working on didn't allow for any other methods, so I had to put on my "big-girl panties" and proceed with this technique.
Wow!!
It works!
And, it's super easy and and quick, and it yields perfectly stitched Flying Geese units with no waste!
Below are step-by-step photos:
Voila, four perfectly-stitched Flying Geese units!
Now I have all kinds of Flying Geese quilts I want to make, including this one!

Also, Omnigrid makes a set of three 1/2" wide x 4", 6" and 12" rulers that work great for marking the double stitching lines. Clear here for the link.
I like your photos - they really help. I've seen this method and wanted to try it - thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is the only method I've ever used and it works very well. Any method that results in zero waste is a good thing to me.
