If you wanted to know about the flying geese block, this is where you should start. We start the basics , one-at-time methoed and the 4-at-a-time NO WASTE method and then move to more advanced versions by using your fabrics the best way possible. And I have another sewing hack with masking tape at the end to make the trimming easier. I use the Omnigrid ½” ruler to mark the sewing lines. See link below to get yours. Links to the videos I reference are below.

After fussing with the geese that weren’t flying at all, I decided to get on you tube for help. This was the first video to pop up! LOVE your simple methodology to making (4) at a time. And NOW my geese have the extra fabric on top so I don’t lose my point when sewn together. THANK YOU! 😊 You made my frustration disappear.

Valerie Bishop I had a good (albeit silent) chuckle when I read your comment about FGs coming out good being a crap shoot. Our state capitol grounds have a pond which a local population of Canada Geese call home year 'round. One has to be VE-E-E-R-R-Y careful when walking to and from the capitol building and over to the memorials built along the shore of the pond to avoid all the goose crap on the lawn and sidewalks. I may never sew another FG without thinking about this ;) .

See how FG block construction can create a focal point in any block. Adjust alignment of print pattern or rotation within stitch placement will alter the block and get that “WOW factor” in your quilt. Use prints that are: One way, rotational, stripes, mirror image, etc. some fabric print options. You will never automatically avoid a print, ever again. Tons of visual examples! Bonus: How to make a trimming tool for FG using blocks you may already own.

Hi Karen, I just finished listening to your blog about your progress on your paper piecing project, and making BLUE QUILTS!!! I keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Thank God for the good news for your son, what a HUGE relief. I'm glad that you showed us that every time you went in to sew you ended up doing other things. It happens to me often also. But in the end it helps me get mentally ready for my next thing. What ever that is. I feel better after I've done some of these non-sewing things. Karen, I think you need a mental health break. You go at things so hard. Can you and a friend or 2 go have a weekend away? Just go poking around some odd little stores. Maybe just take yourself out for some poking around and some lunch. Where you sit DOWN to order, bring a new pattern to go over or a book. Just leave in the morning, knowing you have dinner set for the guys at home. ( I think you said your husband cooks) and walk around after lunch, read your book and do NOTHING MORE THAN WHAT CAN HELP YOU, KAREN HAVE A SIMPLE DAY FOR YOURSELF. I admire you very much, long before your world got turned upside down. You need to take a few breaks, I'm saying this because of the change in you. You are a wonderful person, your style of teaching is very coherent, like you've been a teacher your whole life. But now you're pressed, I want the best for you and your family. One day I'll write why I started to quilt. I hope that all of you stay safe from this Covid 19 and your son continues to get better. May God Bless you and your family, Debbie

Awesome video! I love the ruler hack for trimming the flying geese! You are basically making your own bloc loc ruler!!! I also appreciate the fact that you say to sew just to the side of the line. Everyone always says sew right on the line and as someone who is teaching herself to quilt, I figured that out on my own. Love, love your tutorials. Stay safe and keeping your family in my prayers.

I'm using some linen in some background pieces right now and it takes up so much space in the seam...I think I'm two needle widths away.

This is SO complicated, I need to put it into a book to refer to. It is so complicated that right now it feels like all the fun has gone out of quilting for me because I have to be so careful to not mess all of this up! But I know you are right! I just don't know if I will ever get all of this straight.

Thank you for the magazine. It's interesting overall, but I really enjoyed the article about you. I don't know how you saw it but as soon as I looked at the blue quilt, I saw a city at night. Some buildings dark, some with lights. I thought it was so beautiful.

I actually did the quilting as a maze. I thought one day someone might try to solve it
