As I was trimming 'what-seems-like my zillionth' Flying Goose Unit, I wondered~
Is there an easier way?
How do you make Flying Geese?
I have been using the no-waste method, but you still need to stop and measure every single one and trim when necessary. So, what do you do?
In other news :-)
I am following along with the Happy Cloud Creations, Starlight Mountains sew along on Facebook. You can find all the info in the blog link-> HERE
Here are my Week 1 & Week 2 blocks.
I have a couple of pattern tests in the works, so will be back with those when they are released.
In the meantime, tell me~ do you like the new blogger? ;-)
Until next time~
Happy stitchin'!

So far, I avoid flying geese at all costs. 😁
Google Fast Flying Geese. You can make 4 at a time (enough for one star) with one larger goose square and two smaller background squares. NO waste because you do not whack off corners.
Very pretty stars. I use either the stitch and flip method of making flying geese - or the "4 at a Time" method. That uses the big block plus the little ones. That method does make a very accurate flying geese block.
I love flying geese and I have to tell ya, that Accuquilt Go is the best for flying geese and not having to trim.
I like your stars and I love your fabrics. Can't go wrong with blues :) I haven't yet found a flying geese method that does not involve checking and possibly trimming as needed. Let me know if you find one! In theory, they should all work out perfectly but I always end up with a teeny bit of wonkiness that needs to be trimmed or straightened.
