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!
+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?
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!!!!!
In the land of Australia it's known as the folded geese biock love it❤
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 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!
I know this tutorial is older but it's true best thing I have learned in years. Love it!!
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!
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 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!
+Sandra Myer Those are great ideas! We also had someone think of a chore chart or a meal planning calendar!
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!
+virginia7191 It would make a great gift! :)
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.
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!
+ferncrest You're so sweet, I'm glad you liked it! :)
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 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 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.
I see rainbow colors going from dark to light!! I LOVE RAINBOWS!! This is definitely on my list!!Thank you Jenny for another amazing pattern!!!! :)
I simply love the advent calendar example! Thank you for sharing!
Now I'm using this principle for a heart block. Thank you, Jenny!!
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.
Great technique and love the calendar idea
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!
Thanks for sharing your great tips with us Laura! I am so glad these ways work for you!
I love this idea!! Super easy peasy lemon squeezy!!
This is so cute! Love the idea of the Advent wreath.
Oh this is just amazing. I have been trying to make Christmas trees and I have been losing the point. I love Jenny
Wow what a great way to do this. I haven't done any geese quilts yet, but this looks much easier to do.
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.
+Amy Charles They will love it!
Love the advent quilt and the flying geese...... I am definitely giving this a go..... looks like so much fun..... thanks for the inspiration.. :)
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
What a cute idea Marge!
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.... 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
+Lois Weimer
OOOHHHHH yessss! 30's prints! Great idea girl, I'm gonna jump on that bandwagon!
+Lois Weimer That would look great!!

I just love this easy way to make Flying Geese. Best part? No Math involved!! Or Specialty Rulers!
I just found this today!!! Can't wait to try this! Thanks Jenny! You rock!!
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 😊💖🧵🪡✂️✨🦓
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!!!
OMG! glad I watched this today!!!Thank you, Jenny🥰

Just beautiful. I admire what you always do when it comes to making quilts. You are terrific.

Thank you

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
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.
Love this. Thank you
Brilliant, I’ve never done this pattern before but this tutorial was so simple. Thank you for sharing.

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
+eileenfb1948 Thank you for your comment! Merry Christmas to you too! :)
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) ;)
I love the advent calendar idea! Totally going to make one of those for my Mom, she'll love it!!
+Dee L What a great gift idea!
Having arthritis this block is do easy. Love it thank you Jenny. Lyn New Zealand
Just moved from cold north to hot south ... Thus quilt will remind me of the pine trees I left behind
Jenny you're a quilting genius!
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.
Thank you, Jenny for this video. I really love this Flying Geese short cut. As soon as I seen it, I start thinking what will be my first color.
You can thank Suzanne McNeil for this simple method. It's so amazing!
Love this so much! I am a beginner quilter, and this is one that I think is doable. Thanks for the easy instructions!
I love this chick, she cracks me up!
Merry Christmas to Jenny and the MSQC family. Thanks for all the great ideas and inspiration this past year.
+Mary Laboy Merry Christmas to you as well! :)
I love your instrucytional videos theyre inspiring to watch.Keep it up Jenny.:)
I am working on this quilt pattern right now! I used my Large quilt in a day ruler to do my trimming up of my quilt blocks and came out great!
I just love watching your shows Jenny ,I learn so much more about patchwork Helen
Great idea to make geese fly quickly and straight. Thanks Jenny
Beautiful. Thank u for the shortcut. Great for busy people!
+Debra Kellerman Yes! It's amazing how quickly you can whip this one up! :)
Love the "broken wing" part!! You are just too much fun!! Thanks again for a quick and easy quilt!! Merry Christmas !!
This is my favorite!!! Flying geese make such wonderful quilts!!
This is so neat!!
I love this video too - I will always make my flying geese this way from now on.
Awesome shortcut!! Love it! Jenny you are a magician!
You just saved me so much time and frustration! Thank you Jenny!
This is a fabulous way to make Flying Geese! Your tutorials are so very good, easy and all patterns are manageable.....Thank you!!!!!

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.
+Sarah McCartney That sounds beautiful! We're so glad you enjoyed this method! We're loving this version that utilizes precuts! ;)

+Christine Colburn Thank you so much, Christine! Merry Christmas to you as well! :)
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 love this! Can't wait to try this technique!
Quick and easy - my favorite type of quilt!
Jenny is an awesome tutor.
Thanks Jenny...Such great ideas!!!! Merry Christmas!
I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY THIS DURING MY CHRISTMAS BREAK!!!
Mind Blown!!
Easy peasy I love it
Love the Advent calendar idea. And the Broken Wing made me laugh out loud!
Thank you Jenny!
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 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😄😄😄😄😄😄
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!
This has to be my favorite video of all time. It takes something that seems so complicated and makes it super simple. Thanks so much!
So quick & easy you are a wonderful teacher, thank you so much.
Thank you Marcia!
Love this
Jenny that is so neat... TY, Wishing you all a Beautiful Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and Yours, God Bless
+BettyLCP Merry Christmas to you as well! :)
I am going to try this I have not make a flying geese before and this one looks eazy
Great idea. Love the advent calendar. Would be a very quick table runner and placemats too.
+Kdcaswell That would be darling!
I love the Advent hanging, but for a quilt, that's a LOT of fabric! Thanks for all the neat ideas, and videos! I have saved so many, when I did a backup, I had to buy a 1T HD to hold them all! Merry Christmas, Jenny, to you and yours, and a new year blessed beyond measure.
Happy Holidays
Love it, Jenny!
