5 TIPS How I Make Perfect Flying Geese😳🦇🦇

[@rosehixon2790]

❤❤❤ Your grandson will like this Quilt, because his grandmother made it. It won’t wear out before he’s a dad of his own, and he has small children will love it! Is Quilt will give for many generations. That was very sweet of you to do that for him.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Thanks

[@marthatroyer3021]

Discovering the Wing Clipper ruler was a game changer for me when it came to making accurate flying geese units. Also, I find making my HSTs slightly oversized and sliver trimming down to the exact size greatly improves my accuracy when piecing. Your narrow black border did the trick. Good job!!!

[@CindyKowalski-hj8bn]

I love the Wing Clipper ruler too. I don’t use pins because they tend to shift the fabric slightly. I just line up the join at the sewing machine.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Good idea Martha on making the HST’s larger 👍🏼😊🦇🐥

[@denisegriffin156]

❤Thank you for showing all your little issues. I so needed to see this today. I am quilting 22 quilts for all my family for Christmas. I’m on quilting 10 today. And everything went wrong. LOL. I walked away and went to bed early to watch You Tube quilters. And I found you in all your glorious fumbles. Thank you. I will now go back tomorrow and conquer this quilt!!! I am feeling so much better knowing that even professional quilters have rough days. Thank you. ❤

Di - I absolutely love your quilt and I know your grandson will too. I can’t thank you enough for showing your challenges. I appreciate that more than you will ever know. Your authenticity serves as a beacon of encouragement and hope. This was my all time favorite video!!! ❤

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Well that’s cool Natalie 👍🏼😊 I hope you can tune in tomorrow for my live at retreat.

Oh wow, I think every young man would love that quilt. You made a great job, and it's great to see that no matter how long you have been quilting, not everything works every time. Thank you for sharing. ❤🎉😊

You’re welcome Debbie 👍🏼🦇🦇🦇🦇

[@dianakranning9843]

That turned out awesome!! Thanks for leaving in the sewing mishaps and having to use our friend Miss Seam Ripper. It's good to see that no one is perfect all the time, but as you say practice, practice, practice. So glad sister chick didn't make a mess. Have a wonderful weekend and week!

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Oh I love our friends Miss Seam Ripper😳🤣😂 Thanks for watching 😊🦇♥️🐥🦇

[@shannabauer]

Man, I was glad to see "my" blocks on this video. I sometimes have the hardest time getting things lined up. I took my first ever quilt top apart multitudes of times. I finally just called it quits. The bottom row would not come out right. I was all for throwing it in the trash but my fantastic husband convinced me to keep it. It hangs on the wall in the guest room and I absolutely love it. Don't know that it will ever turn into a finished quilt but I think it is a wonderful 1st quilt hanging on the wall. LOL Thank you very much for this wonderful video.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Your husband truly is fantastic for having you keep your first ever quilt. I was such a gutless. lily, livered, chicken, that I didn't even dare do HST's for the first 8 years I quilted! And you tackled them on your first quilt! That #5 tip plays here, practice, practice, practice. And then you still might not get htem perfect! Thanks for watching Shanna :) !!

[@michellerutkowski6858]

Great tips on mastering flying geese blocks. I loved your comment, Di "now that I've got the flock of geese done, we need to make some bat wings" who knew that we could use geese to make bats?!? It must be Halloween magic. I really like the "mummy" fabric. You can probably tell that I'm commenting as I watch. Loving how it's coming together.

Hi Di! Great video! I usually dont have a perfectly easy time with a pattern and I love that you showed us your trial and errors! I love how the colors you used set off the bats. So does the little black border. I love it!! Your face in the bats body in the intro was a cute touch too!!! ❤

We say it must be something in the water, my 17 year old grandson is over 6 ft. and his brother is tall for a toddler. Considering I’m 5 ft and my husband is 4’ 7”. Nice quilt and funny commentary. Have a great weekend.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Aren’t those tall grandsons just the best Abeullah😊? I didn’t imagine you so short 😂, you know I’m 5’10” & I always thought we were just alike 🤣🤣😂🤣😂 it’s our souls that are the same because it’s definitely not our bodies 😳🤣😂🤣

[@abeullah03]

@ my husband is 5’7 I just read my comment. The first time I’ve been taller than somebody else lol

[@eileensecrest2185]

Oh Di, early in my quilting experience I made a bear's paw quilt for my sister. I had more than 280 2-1/2 inch half square triangles to make for the "claws". And my machine ate most of them. I swore to never make these little triangles again. But I soon realized that HSTs are very useful in many quilt patterns. So I started using leaders and enders and as you suggest, I practiced doing them. I started with bigger ones and then gradually started making them smaller. Could not quilt without HSTs!

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Great experience Eileen😊 you’re correct, a quilter can hardly quilt without HST’s. I believe they are the #1 basic block of quilting. I remember my machines eating corners & wish I’d had that simple knowledge back then. TFW🦇♥️🦇🐥

[@franpatzcraig6713]

Stephanie Soebbing's videos show a method for pinning that give better matches. She uses two pins, one straight into the fabrics to position them,p the other to hold the fabrics.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

I do that also and was thinking of it but it was in the corner so I just didn’t. DOH! All the ones I did off camera came out perfectly😳 of course they did 🤪 Thanks for watching by Fran 😊♥️🐥

[@rosehixon2790]

Tip number one start with cut accurately. The slightest cut off will not align to make a perfect Flip and stitch corner. I also use the block lock flying geese ruler. Some people oversize their block, but I am just careful too when I cut to cut on the outside line of the lines of the ruler not directly on the line or on the inside. Hope it helps. It took me quite a while to master my flying geese.❤

[@maryo8511]

Quilt turned out wonderful!! I'm so curious about the skeleton quilt you had up on your design board. Loved it. Is there a video on it?

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Thanks 👍🏼 No video, it’s a panel called Mr Chillingsworth, made long before my channel began. It hangs each season in my home.

[@maryo8511]

@sisterchicksquilting It is gorgeous and the colors are so perfect. I'm also looking for a design and more grown up colors for my 16 yr old grandson's Halloween quilt. I made my first Halloween quilt this September for my 11 yr old granddaughter. It was easy to find many patterns and fabrics for a girl, but as you know 16 yr old boys are not gonna want a juvenile looking quilt. I really like the idea of a large panel with the right fabrics like that skeleton. Thank you

[@peggielane4951]

I like watching your channel and also Aprils. I have been following her half square triangles series and have been making the 32 at a time and love it makes it faster to get all the squares done. The bats are cute.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Thank you, Peggie for watching👍🏼🦇♥️ I love have square triangles and have really loved April‘s series on them😊🐥♥️

[@pbar8439]

I wasn't so sure about the border either, but once applied, I love it. I feel that it calms the quilt down. Teens are hard to please, Period! Hope he loves it!!👻👻👻🎃🎃

Horary!, I just watched video #6 of Aprils. I hear she is going to make a quilt with all the blocks when she's done with the series. I can't wait to see it. Now, if you can make a HST you can make a flying goose! Thanks for watching:) !!

What kind of rotary cutter you using...I purchased two and both are crappy. I didn't know cutters cut smoothly and before you ask yes I changed the blade lol

[@sisterchicksquilting]

It's an Olfa Splash 45mm. I have 5 of them. I tried the ergonomic from, you know where, and even got used to it until the nightmare of changing the blade, then a piece of it broke and I am done with that one and am back to my Splash. Wow, that was more than you asked for, lol. TFW :)
