the "f" block and flying geese
I have finished making the "f" block, but I think there may be a mistake in some of the measurements on the pattern. Is anyone else having a problem?
I found that my flying geese measured 2 1/4 inches when unfinished (rather than the 2 1/2 inches the pattern calls for--the cutting instructions calls for squares of 2 5/8" which does not allow much ease to reduce to 2 1/2"). If the finished size of the flying geese is 2" x 3", and there are 8 flying geese.....that would make the background rectangle 8 x 2" or 16 inches and not the 12 1/2 inches called for.
My finished flying geese strip measures 13 1/2 inches, not the 12 1/2 inches that the cutting instructions say it should be.
Any help would be appreciated.Tags: None

Originally posted by sharansthank you for your reply. My copy of the instructions on page 9 says to trim to 2 1/2 by 3 1/2. I will re-trim to 2" x 3 1/2". Thank you again.Back to Quilting!

Thanks

The method I have figured out is, whatever FINISHED size FG unit you want, add on 1 3/4" to the large square, and 1 1/4" to the 4 small squares. For example, if you want a finished 2" x 4" FG unit, cut the large square 5 3/4" ( 4" + 1 3/4") and the 4 small squares 3 1/4" (2" + 1 1/4"). Of course you will waste almost a quarter inch of fabric on each side, but that has never bothered me. I prefer a little more fabric to trim down to get the perfect size unit.Back to Quilting!

Love your oversizing and cutting to size method. I haven't done many quilts with flying geese but when I have done them, as well as half square triangles, I've had less than satisfactory results. This method is working great for me. Glueing instead of pinning has been a wonderful help also. I have learned so much from you and my skills have improved by leaps and bounds. I have only machine pieced 7 quilts and a handful of small wall quilts since I started quilting about 10 years ago. However, now that I have retired I can finally dedicate more time to my passion and maybe learn to do a better job. That in turn will make it more enjoyable for me. Thank you Janet, you are making it fun.
