Got it. Thanks
What?? I've never been there so it doesn't really exist! Isn't that how that works?

On this link I use the speed piecing method. Then I take each piece over to square it and trim to make sure it's even. After viewing the link supplied by Jeanne though I'm intrigued by it and think I'll try it next time I make flying geese.
I like using foundations so I can make them scrappy. Allison

can still be scrappy if various fabrics are used as both the large and small squares. it'll all depend on what scraps you use. it really is the fastest method i've tried to date. assembly line of course. i reckon if one wanted lots and lots of FG, you could always cut your scraps of fabric in the right size big and small squares and when you've got a whole mess of 'em, start sewing. wooooohooooo!! honk honk!! oops, sorry, early here still and on first cuppa still. :) jeanne
You can do the Eleanor Burns method without the special ruler, too. She has a video of the method at . The video shows doing it both with or without the special ruler.
This method uses 2 large squares to make 4 geese. It is basically the same as as the method Mary Sue Suit uses. Cut your smaller square of the "geese" fabric and cut 1.5" larger than the widest measurement of the geese block. Cut the larger square of the "sky" fabric and cut 1.5" larger than the "geese" square.
