This tutorial is fantastic!!! Half square triangles and flying geese have been the frustration of my quilting life. You did a tutorial once about how to make perfect HSTs and it saved my sanity. Now a simple way to make flying geese - you're a GENIUS!!!!!
I see a number of people complaining about this technique being wasteful of fabric. I understand why some people consider it very wasteful, but its one of many techniques to make Flying Geese so if you don't like this technique then don't use it. Personally, I see the appeal of it since there's only one seam, very little math involved, and judging by the video they don't take long to make. This would be great for beginners, quilters who don't have a lot of time, or quilters who have difficulty making Flying Geese or find making them intimidating. And that Advent Calender project is adorable!
Thank you from a 67 year old new to quilting British quilter!! Anything for an easier life! Material arrived today, just need to pluck up the courage to get going!
LOVE this method for flying geese. I got a small 6 block (24 pockets) size cut and sewn this afternoon and will try to finish tomorrow. I love the little pockets, to put stuff or notes in. Thank you Jenny. You are amazing with your demo, and teaching skills, so direct and to the point with a bit of humor thrown in. Thanks for the PDF too. Major kudos to MSQC for all your help.
Your advent calendar is a great idea as a Christmas gift for the person for whom you don't know what gift to get. It can be used for so many things. Great idea! Thanks Jenny!
I made the Christmas project Jenny shared at the end of the tutorial. My grandchildren each had one side on the wall hanging. . Then they spend the month of December writing an appreciating message each day to their siblings and put into a the others pockets. On Christmas Eve they take turns reading what the other wrote. I find we are so busy each day we don’t always see the kindness we do for each other.
Great way to make Flying Geese with pockets. I can see this being used for Easter or other holidays or even a scavenger hunt with pockets full of clues. Thank you Jenny for your warmth, friendly instruction! Happy holidays to you and your family!
I fmq on a home machine. I used a dab of lapel stick (a fabric glue stick) on the edge of the geese at first. after a while, I had no trouble and didn't need it. another idea I had was a Lil scrap of wonder under to fuse it down. this method is a godsend for me. I have really arthritic hands, the less cutting, the better! love you, Jenny!
If YOU think it is a waste of fabric, then don't make the quilt. Personally, I think Jenny is a very clever woman when it comes to making quilts. You keep doing what you do.
No, she didn't...I first saw it illustrated by a guy named Tims. But then, all quilters have different takes on how things are made...just look at all the log cabin methods. I like Jenny and appreciate her tutorials.
The extra material used creates a more stable and warmer quilt. Will most likely wear better. Love Jenny, and she only gives us ideas, there is no pressure to do it anyway , it is always our choice, B from Australia
I've been searching for an Advent calendar for years and struggled with coming up with the "goodies" to go with it...well my search is over and my three children with my grandchildren will be getting these heirloom quality calendars thanks to Jenny!!!
I love the option with pockets for advent! I don't love all the seemingly wasted fabric, only because my budget cannot absorb it. Thank you for the tutorial!
I loved this tutorial because I hated doing flying geese--until now! This is going to be my Christmas gifts (Advent Calendar) for my grandchildren next year. I can't wait to get started.I have been subscribed for quite awhile now and each tutorial inspires me. Oh how I wish I had the time to do each one. I have many favorites, but to pick just a couple--I would have to say the Chevron one and the Cuddle Pillow Quilt.Thank you so much for all of your wonderful shortcuts and tips.
I LOVE the Advent calendar! I have sewn a whole bunch of little stockings, which I use to put little treats for the kids in. But I love the idea of doing a calendar with activities we can enjoy as a family. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity, and awesome personality, with us.
This is clever and I will add it to my bag if tricks. It does waste fabric though. I'd use this on cheaper fabric but not the more expensive material. It's so fast and easy that, with an economically priced fabric, it would be a great gift idea. I love Fons & Porter team. They're all great teachers.
I love this! Made all my geese today hopefully quilt topper tomarrow. Used up a lot of small pieces of fabric. I am not a scrapper normally!! Thank you
Oh my goodness! You blew our minds and knocked our socks off at the same time! Great geese idea, GORGEOUS quilt, fun Advent calendar! Thank you and all the great folks at Missouri Star Quilt Co!
Fantastic! Jenny, this is so cool, and your take on it is just purely BRILLIANT! I LOVE THE Advent calendar idea. Thank you for sharing this with us 😊💖🧵🪡✂️✨🦓
Hi Jenny, I have seen some of your videos, you are so fantastic. I have never in my 45 years tryed to sew on a machine before, but your videos just woke me up and I look at your beautiful work. My husband just bought a Singer 7470 confidence online for me today, now I can only wait impatient for the sewing machine to arrive. Thank you so much for your videos, You do it so beautiful. Greetings and sunshine from Denmark
Jenny I made a wall quilt for Christmas cards using this technique. I used red and green material and placed them so the center was a large green Tree. The open parts of the qeese make a Christmas card holder. Really cute. Makes a really nice way to display your Christmas cards
Love this one , will try and work out the Maths for a smaller one , I’ll defiantly be doing the Advent before I put away my Christmas stash. Thank you Rowena (UK)
I’ve seen a lot of flying geese suggestions but this one takes the cake. It’s perfect for a beginner! And that bit at the top is perfect insurance for not cutting the points off.
I made one like that a couple of years ago just like that out of Purples and Blues for my Daughter and Son-in-laws Christmas gift. I did one row going down and one row going up. Everyone said it was so pretty and easy.
I have been wanting to make a quilt with flying geese so I will try Jenny's way. I would rather use more fabric and be a lot simpler since I am new at making quilt tops. Jenny probably doesn't have to pay for her fabric, BUT who cares … I don't! I love watching her, her teaching is so anybody can understand.
I don't mind telling you my mind was racing with all kinds of ideas.I could just see this in 30's prints .Merry Christmas to all of you.... 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
What a striking block. Children love pickets (so do I) and this is so versatile. Thank you Jenny for bringing this to us, in your own style. Merry Christmas xxx
How did I miss this tutorial? I LOVE this. It is what some would refer to as "Elegant in it's simplicity". I see this as the PERFECT quilt of valor pattern for patriotic layer cakes. (hint hint Jenny) ;)
So easy .. and pretty .... also I love the Advent calendar .... Merry Christmas to the everyone at MSQC .... sending love and prayers ... God Bless from California
Super fast, super easy. Thanks for a great idea Jenny. My very best Christmas wishes to you and all the wonderful family and folks at MSQC. You all take such good care of us all year long.
Well Jenny you did it again. This is a nice idea for something quick for a gift, in many colors. I will put it on my to do list..I want to wish you and your family and the MSQC staff a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
I started a quilt like this 5 years ago after seeing Ricky Tims demo it. I was planning it to be a king size. It's all cut and in a bag with only one of my colors complete. I need to finish this UFO
RICKY TIMS demonstrated this same block several years ago on the quilt show.... I have made several of them...... I left some of the " pockets" open on them when I made the quilt for kids .... they could put small " lovies" in the pockets. I did find that the pockets could fill with " crud" if left open so I had to be careful and shake them out before putting them in the wash.
+Nonnie Palmer It's a great method that's been around for years, we love showing how it can be adapted to work with precuts! What a fun kids' quilt! :)
That's a great method, especially for an advent hanging. Such a shame there's no snow, if there was, no as it would melt before hitting the bottom of the cloud,,,,, sigh ...... As always thank you all for everything you do!
Thank you so much 😊 that was a great 👍 tutorial and I really loved the advent calendar that you made, I would love ❤️ to make one the same 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😄😄😄😄😄😄

In the land of Australia it's known as the folded geese biock love it❤

+FlyingVGoddess I agree with you and the extra fabric would just ad more warmth to the quilt
+FlyingVGoddess Just curious...
Is your name in reference to the guitar?
Thank you from a 67 year old new to quilting British quilter!! Anything for an easier life! Material arrived today, just need to pluck up the courage to get going!
There is not a thing I don't love about this quilt! The colors, the pattern ... It is SO my taste! Gonna make one, yup!

Thank you Jenny for your warmth, friendly instruction!
Happy holidays to you and your family!
+Sandra Myer Those are great ideas! We also had someone think of a chore chart or a meal planning calendar!
I fmq on a home machine.

Thanks for sharing your great tips with us Laura! I am so glad these ways work for you!
If YOU think it is a waste of fabric, then don't make the quilt. Personally, I think Jenny is a very clever woman when it comes to making quilts. You keep doing what you do.
she didnt invent it.
No, she didn't...I first saw it illustrated by a guy named Tims. But then, all quilters have different takes on how things are made...just look at all the log cabin methods. I like Jenny and appreciate her tutorials.
Faye Starrett she's entitled to her opinion...no need to get snippy. 🙄
I wasn't being snappy. I was just stating MY opinion.
Faye Starrett regardless of your opinion, the fact is that this method uses a lot more fabric than is necessary.
The extra material used creates a more stable and warmer quilt. Will most likely wear better. Love Jenny, and she only gives us ideas, there is no pressure to do it anyway , it is always our choice, B from Australia

Doubble up on fabric. Such a waste! I really don't understand, if your life's to short for making "proper" flying geese, why not do something else?

Great technique and love the calendar idea

Jenny you ROCK!! This is so AWESOME for anyone intimidated by geese! Blessings to you and your staff this season! We love you!!!
