Oh my gosh! This quilt top is stunning! I love using flying geese, especially the four at a time method. Many thanks for your tips to improve accuracy.

That's perfect, Mary! I have some bright summer fabric to make this quilt again. These flying geese make such an awesome quilt. Thanks for watching. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
I sure did enjoy this video! Thank you for the link to a free pattern. I made a couple of flying geese quilts just recently and would love to do one like yours! Thanks for all the wonderful tips on making flying geese - one of the blocks I need to practice. I love batiks too! I find that they press a lot more flat that cottons.
Your colours are fabulous! I love how the geese are turned in different directions. A lap size quilt is on my 'to-do' list for next year. Thanks for sharing all your helpful tips 🥰
Thank you for so many wonderful tutorials! I’ve learned so very much from watching your channel! I always take time to watch and like all you new videos but have also gone back and watched entire playlists! This quilt is stunning! Thank you for sharing!🥰
So glad you're enjoying my videos, Laura! This quilt is definitely a statement piece with all those colors and geese flying in every direction. It's always fun for me to share my quilts. Thanks so much for following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Love love, loved❤ your tips on flying geese I’ve heard several of those tips before but never all together and that’s what makes the difference also leaving the boat in made more sense the way you explained i How are the Fabric had to go back where it belonged. Your quilt is beautiful and you’re very good teacher. Thank you for your TH-cam.
Thanks so much for your comment, Rose! I'm thrilled you learned so much from this tutorial. While it's filled with lots of little techniques, all together they make a big difference in a finished quilt. Glad to have you following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Thanks for watching, Vicky! Making this bundle of flying geese sure taught me a lot and I'm gad to share it with you. It's a fun quilt and looks awesome finished! Appreciate you following along. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Thanks, Sandy! Glad you like it. 🤗 There are so many color options this would work beautifully with. Two that I'm thinking of are bright, hot summer colors and maybe even a southwest color scheme. Just need to prepare myself for all those FG! Happy to have you following along. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Thanks so much, Marilyn! Glad you're enjoying this pattern - it's a beautiful quilt design for FG. Have fun with EQ, that's something I haven't gotten into. Are you using it for color layout or for sizing? Enjoy and Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

YES, I ❤ flying geese too! Theyre just so cool. Thanks for the tips. I will definitely use them. Your quilt is absolutely gorgeous!! Love the colors and layout!!
Be sure to check out the pattern, Victoria! Their demo is great but what a difference in color choice. You could make this 5 different ways and each would look so different. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
You bet, I loved making this! It was a fun challenge for me and a great learning experience. By the finish of this quilt, quilters are definitely FG pros! Sure appreciate you following along. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Currently elbow deep in a flying geese-heavy quilt and appreciate this video a lot. So far so good, but I’ll start pressing from the back before cutting and pressing the beaks with steam.👍🏼
We're thinking the same, Laura! I'm not sure what I'll do for this one. It certainly won't be those intricate quilted feathers and such many quilters use. Let me know if you have any ideas! 😊 Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
for those of u that would like or need a larger than a 1/4 inch above the beak...the slotted flying geese triangles ruler-template allow u to easily square up larger side triangles AND/OR to use already other larger cut orphan triangles as wings. IMPORTANT to remember is to make sure the bottom base of the goose n triangular side are evenly over each other before sewing up side seam. Do NOT let the bottom base matchings slant away, keep them straight on top of each other. Then using the slotted ruler for squaring up SIDES of goose block FIRST because the bottom should be straight not bowed or skewed...then free ruler rotary cut the horizontal top to desired 3/8, 5/8, etc above the beak. The trims are just slivers AND also, if you have pieces of odd scraps small or larger, its easy to cut a geese from an odd shape scrap. Sounds complicated but it is easy, once u try it a couple of times...this gives you consistent accuracy and more leeway IF 1/4 in above the beak is NOT enough space to keep u from sewing thru the goose's beak tip.
the slotted triangular geese ruler-template prevents skewing of fabric because one side of goose triangle is longer that the other base side. TIP...when sewing the wing like triangle to the goose MAKE SURE the goose base triangle AND wing base triangle are evenly above each other with edges straight then sew the side to the goose.. You will find in the trimming up of the finished block the bottom across the threee pieces of the whole base is straight and not bowed or skewed.
Every quilter makes mistakes, Laura! Sometimes that's when I learn the most - from fixing it! 😂 I simply love to quilt and I learned a long time ago it's okay not to expect perfection b/c it'll never happen. My joy is seeing all those beautiful fabrics and colors combined in a way that makes me happy. So girl, you are validated right here and now! Don't sweat the small stuff, just smile and enjoy the journey. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

I have been making flying geese and half square triangles and I'm try this method I've been messing with 2 inch blocks tho 😅
