To learn more about my pattern classes for the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt, (using very few templates!) click HERE for more information To make 'No Waste' Flying Geese: Cut a square the finished length measurement of the desired flying geese unit and add to this, 1-1/4" (1.25) Cut 4 squares the finished height measurement of desired flying geese and add 7/8" (.875) Example: To make 1-1/2" x 3" finished flying geese units, cut 1 square 4-1/4". Next cut (4) 2-3/8" squares Stitch them together as shown below Mark a diagonal line corner to corner on the smaller squares and place right sides together with the bigger square, like this: Stitch a 1/4" on either side of the drawn line Cut apart on the drawn line. creating 2 of these units press seams towards small triangles place a small square right sides together with both units from above like this: stitch 1/4" on either side of the drawn line cut apart on the drawn line Yields 4 Flying Geese units Math Chart for a handful of common Flying Geese sizes Of course, you can stick to the traditional method for Flying Geese using corner triangles, but the 'no waste' method is great!
