3D Flying Geese

Two of those with the wide sides of the geese to the center would make a really cool 3D Square-Within-A-Square block, too. Really great process for FG. I wonder how you could seam (or not???) the longer piece of fabric with two different colors to make a 'one seam sewn' pair of HSTs??? There are some interesting variations possible here. Anybody want to come up with some ideas?

That's really great, Dee. Thanks for sharing the link. With those geese edges being on the bias, those edges could be rolled back to give a curved edge (something I love to do). Most interesting potential .... . In message , Dee in Oz writes

Thanks for the link - I ended up spending about an hour looking at all the other stuff.

Thanks, I had forgotten about that technique. Wouldn't that make a fun baby quilt? Should the flying geese be all over the top or just in some areas?

Oh, isn't that beautiful. Thanks J. What a wonderful idea, simply to superimpose where necessary to achieve the desired effect. So glad to see you are still 'finding' ... . In message , J* writes

found pix of this collabarative effort between Jessamy and me.i came up with a method to make these 3D units and she put them together into this quilt. the method used rectangles (rather than squares overlaid) so the weight of the final design was less. easy to do, let me know if you're interested. fwiw. j.

maybe it was the same weight come to think of it. no idea why i thot it was less. just less pieces used thats all cuz they're rectangles rather than squares. i'd lost the pix of this and took me some googling and time to find it online again.

Intriguing! I can see how the border is done; but would have to play with the centre piece. Just a hint would probably do? >g

I wouldn't be bothered about weight, anyway! Thanks for all the time searching though - for the greater good >g< . In message , J* writes

cant think up just a hint just now, bit too early in the day for me yet. border and centre units are done the same way---only difference is sizes. take 2 matching rectangles, lay them right sides together. sew 1/4 inch seam along the short side, pivot and sew half way down the righthand long side. then fold the top piece up and to the right so it makes an L unit. there will be a diagonal fold where you can roll the edge back for that curve. then lay another rectangle RST on top of the second rectangle. sew along the short side, pivot and sew half way down the right side towards the first rectangle. then fold that away from the bottom piece. now you'll have 3 parts of the finished square. do one more the same way. one more seam and you're done. the last seam is a bit tricky as you sew the last rectangle to the first one to join them all up. ya need to wriggle it into place before sewing and be careful not to stitch thru the whole bit at the centre point.. dont want to have any frog stitching. slow and steady as she goes. i hope that makes enough sense. simple once ya get started on it, should all become clear. i've never thot how else this could be expanded on...perhaps going in different directions and eventually sewing long zigzag pieces together, hmmmm. i'm sure that much is right up your alley tho. do let us know what fun and games this sets in motion for you. cheers, j.

Thanks J. I will copy this and work on a bit when I have a minute. I have a horrid tickly cough at the moment, so my hands are occupied with hankies etc! Thanks ever so much for setting this out - I wouldn't have spotted the L shape. It will have to go on my list, but I have an embroidered picture of an Australian flower (red on black), and have been waiting for inspiration for a border. This will be just the thing

- I have had the flower for several years. I don't work in months >gg<

I had a feeling of what the time was. Take care. . In message , J* writes
