November's Flying Geese Borders
Is everybody ready to make a flock of flying geese??? :lol:
There are a LOT of different techniques for making flying geese units. Sue recommends paper foundations, and provides them in this month's directions.
I did use paper foundations, but I also used an "add-a-quarter" ruler during construction. I felt that was easier for me than holding the fabric up to the light to get it lined up. I've added a brief tutorial on my Webshots album if anyone is interested.
http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/...75362358jtVQqV
If you have a favorite technique, let us know about it. Especially if you have some kind of a link that explains it!
SEW LONG!

Margo, I've been making mine exactly as you did in your tutorial (thanks for posting that!). The first set of 6, I didn't cut off seam allowances and had some unfortunate mishaps. Some of them just involved taking out a seam, but I after I cut off my actual piece instead of just the seam allowance- twice- I switched over to cutting off the seam allowance before sewing on the next piece.
It's tedious but they are turning out beautifully. I'm working on strip #6 and #7 now- it's taking about 90 minutes to make two sets.

I am going to use the No Math Flying Geese ruler. I have all my units cut out, and will take the "sky" units to work today to mark. Looking at Sue's "bikini" method, it looks to be pretty much the same!

Thanks Margo for the pictures! Coincidentally, I'm currently also doing Annie Smith's online class for he Quilter's Palette which has several pp blocks and she she uses the same method with the 1/4"ruler so I had automatically started using it with my "geese"!
As others have said, there are several ways to do these, and the pp way might seem a bit more time intensive, but they are coming out beautifully! (also when cutting the fabric beforehand, you don't have to be 100% accurate - which I love if in a hurry!) I find having all the fabric precut into piles goes fairly fast when doing the pp process. Tearing away the pepr can make a great in-front-of the-tv pastime also!

Hi everybody I have cut all my fabric, marked it and I am now starting to make my flock of geese,I decided on Sue's bikini method, sitting here at my sewing machine in very rainy Suffolk England I thought of all the other members of TQS that are doing the same, what a wonderful site this is, what wonderful tutorials and help we get. Thanks again I am learning so much Dorothy UK
