Life is short, order the fabric😊 your quilt is pretty and you will be the flying geese Queen 👑 when done. Good job Jamie 💯

I use to not like Flying Geese, as well. I now do the 4-at-a-time method but I oversize and trim down with the Wing Clipper ruler. Generations Quilt Patterns has two cheat sheets for 4-at-a-time Flying Geese which I find invaluable. One is exact cuts for those who can sew very accurate 1/4" seams and the other is for cutting oversized pieces. I don't find there is much waste at all when they are trimmed down only very thin pieces. I now don't mind making them at all! I love your channel!

[@lynnperschke3966]

I love the wing clipper by Deb Tucker much less frustrating my last quilt I needed 160 flying geese.

[@rainydaydiva6320]

This is a gorgeous quilt, I so love it. You have done a beautiful job with this’n. I think I’d order more of Kim Diehl fabric to finish it. I love flying geese but they are my nemesis for sure.

[@camellialamana3959]

You have done a beautiful job on this quilt. I absolutely love it! I think you should order more of the same background fabric to finish it

[@maryh4554]

The quilt is beautiful! My Yankee thrifty self would probably use what I have, but the original fabric is great too.😊💛

[@darlasitler2472]

Love this quilt! I too struggle with the flying geese block and discovered like you have, to sew one thread over from the line. As crazy as it sounds, it makes a huge difference. Thank you for showing all the ways to make this block! My thought is to use the fabric you have to make the border. I tend to be on the frugal side 😂 Whatever you decide, it will be beautiful!

[@deborahvankleef382]

Wow, again you knocked it out of the park with this pattern…stars and flying geese what a great pattern…thanks for sharing your techniques and patterns with us…I can’t wait to make a quilt with my Kim Diehl fabrics or Reproduction fabrics!!🥰

[@cherylfenoglio7826]

I would definitely go with the fabric that I have on hand to finish out the quilt top. Love this pattern, especially the center block.

[@joanhuntress7384]

Thank you for sharing the different ways to make the flying geese.

[@brendapowers7024]

Beautiful quilt. Thanks for the different methods on flying geese!

[@maryb1111]

What a beautiful quilt! Love the sashing with the flying geese and stars!

[@diannplatt-roberts8692]

I tend to stay away from patterns that call for flying geese. Thank you for this tutorial.

[@calibreeze101_linda_g]

I'd definitely order the background if it were me. I think it would make the quilt compete as it is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing!❤

[@stephaniemcinturff4955]

Love this quilt ❤. I have been watching your channel for a bit and LIKING your videos - I thought that I had SUBSCRIBED, but had not 😢. That situation has been resolved. Thank you for what you do. 🎉

[@wilycat5290]

Good flying geese reminders. Thanks for the video 😊🪡🧵

[@doraleetrent1802]

I absolutely love this quilt! You need to try the folded corner clipper by creative grids for flying geese!! It’s a game changer. Thank you for your videos. I think you should go with what your hear tells you for the background, you have put a lot of work into it so don’t just settle

[@MonaDidWhat]

I love the first flying geese block. I’ve only used accuquilt to make

[@terridrimel1056]

Your quilt is gorgeous! I am a newer quilter. The first quilt I made had sawtooth stars. I will try several of these methods to practice flying geese. I appreciate the video!

[@simplyquiltingwithnancysanders]

If you have the Accuquilt Qube sets, just use a HST #3, for the center and 2 of the smaller QST's #4, on each side. You dont have to use a rectangle at all.

[@FredaM]

Your quilt is beautiful. Nice tutorial, thank you.

[@shayneschreiber5137]

Fabulous quilt. Now I will have to try your method. I've never done f ying geese! Here goes !

[@thequiltingcompound]

Good luck! I like the four at a time method the best. Thanks for watching 😊

[@sherryfaires7931]

This was a fabulous tutorial and demo! You showed everything very clearly! I think the 4 at a time is for me. I cut them about 1/4 inch bigger and then trim down. Jamie, your quilt top is superb! I love those little tiny stars in the center! I wouldn’t want to make too many of those! I prefer to make bigger blocks. I am not sure about the new background fabric. I see the 4 blocks where you used it. If that is correct, then I think it would be fine in the blocks for borders or border strips. It would keep your 4 blocks from standing out! It will be beautiful either way! Great job, Jamie!

[@Kara_Sews_N_Quilts]

I love your quilt. I would order more of the background. But the other would look ok. Thank you for showing the flying geese, I just do the regular way since I don't have an Accuquilt.

[@mavisharris5123]

Flying geese can be tedious, but cutting them larger and trimming down works well. I would order the fabric, unless you are anxious to get this quilt finished.

[@Tlea064]

Love the quilt! I would have to order more fabric!

[@charlenemorris6391]

Quilt is lovely. I normally do 4 at a time or flip and stitch. I tried paper piecing but it took the pleasure out of quilting for me but many people like it. Since I am trying to not add to my fabric I would use what I have. I did not really see it until you pointed it out. Mixed backgrounds are interesting to me. If I ordered it online by time it got to me I would have moved on so it would become a UFO or just hang over a chair for a bit. Good luck with your decision

[@charlottetrabue9025]

I love your quilt, beautiful job. I would love to make the quilt. I also avoided flying geese, I will give it a try. If it was my quilt I would order more fabric. I usually like it to match. I watch all of your videos love them.

[@lisabrown8026]

Your quilt is pretty. I luv Kim Diehl’s fabrics! I would order more of the same background.I bought the creative grids multi size flying geese and triangle ruler designed by Rachael Cross and I really like it!

[@barbarakempen2482]

It's very beautiful especially that center star with the stars in the corners!

[@rhondastory6825]

Love the quilt, I would order more. It's a beautiful material

[@sannes7647]

I would order extra background fabric, the quilt is just beautiful 😊

[@pamlacey136]

Jamie, this was a very informative video. I appreciate you taking the time to show us so many options for flying geese. I also like the four-at-a-time method but I agree that the paper piecing is the most accurate. I don’t mind doing the FPP but I just need to do it more often so I get the steps solidly fixed in my mind. I do like to sew just a thread or two to the left of the line so that the folding over doesn’t take too much of the measurement. I also will use my pencil to make a mark in each corner before I draft my line. I was told that placing your ruler from corner to corner and then drawing your line moves the line you draw over instead of it being right in the corner, which makes sense. I think cutting a little bit big can also be helpful. It is much easier to trim down. I also make sure to sew on the side where my flying geese are when attaching a strip or another piece to them so I can always see the points of the geese. Hope this helps.

[@didifriesen2147]

Beautiful quilt. You did a wonderful job

[@darleenross710]

This quilt is stunning!

[@elizabethgilmon1419]

Your quilt is gorgeous. I prefer the paper piece method. If the whole quilt top is the same fabric, I would use the same.fabric on the outside.

[@amadeus4313]

Oooh I am so glad I stumbled across your channel. That quilt is absolutely stunning!

[@thequiltingcompound]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@chloetenbusch7331]

I would use what you already have. I like that quilt.

[@allysonrandel7588]

That is going to be absolutely beautiful! Thanks for the flying geese comparison! I struggle making them accurate, going to try the paper piecing method.

[@thequiltingcompound]

Thank you and thanks for watching 😊

[@bobyejean6401]

I think you should order more of the original background. The quilt is amazing.

[@candicedevane9000]

Great job Jamie!!! The quilt is looking fabulous….I love it!! Flying geese blocks are my least favorite block ….! Going to try all your methods…thanks for sharing!! Personally…I would probably use the fabric I have on hand since you already used it in a few blocks and it looked good! Can’t wait to see it finished!

[@gerricampbell6479]

Beautiful quilt!

[@pricillamurphy339]

Definitely order the fabric, Fat Quarter Shop delivers fast!

[@rosynomad5263]

Love your quilt

[@lynnlockardquilting]

I'm not fond of flying geese either. I like the 4 at a time method. I do have the rulers from Elanore Burns. It's been many years since I have made them. Avoid them lol But absolutely love your quilt and colors. Have a wonderful day 😊

[@pbar8439]

Kimberly swears by El Burns method. Just say'in.

[@thequiltingcompound]

I have avoided them too. I only do them in a block of the month or a sew along. Most of the time I will do two half square triangles. 🤷‍♀️. Thanks for watching 😊

[@RuthStash]

Order the fabric. Your quilt looks great

[@cheryleaston6820]

I learned that when you mark your line with the ruler make a markline on that side, its smaller than the other side, place the marked side in the corner then sew. It seems to work for me. The line you draw makes that side a hair smaller. Just a thought. Love your quilt. Use the fabric you have if it looks good to you.

[@candacefife6763]

Yep I sew a hair closer off the line to the outside corner. If that makes since. Never ON the line

[@carolbell8825]

I have found that the way to get better flying geese is to cut carefully and sew more slowly than I normally do but I use a flying geese ruler. So I cut triangles (2different sizes) and sew them together

[@sandyheller5438]

Order the fabric. Your quilt is beautiful.

[@thequiltingcompound]

I did! I’m just patiently waiting 😄 Thanks for watching 😊

[@helenpeddycord2241]

Love your quilt colors and design Jamie! Can you share the quilt pattern for this one please? Great demos on the FG techniques. For myself, I’ve learned to stitch a couple threads closer to the line to allow for the fabric fold. The Deb Tucker FG ruler method is awesome! Order the fabric my friend! I think you’ll be happier with the finished quilt in the end. And maybe like myself, you’ll gain a little patience💕😂😂😂😂🧵

[@cheribrooks808]

❤ love your pattern. I also have the Accuquilt and find the sector paper they are the most accurate for me. Can’t wait to see your borders.

[@user-wy7xp4wu8t]

I like original fabric. This is a lovely design! Thank you for showing us.

[@shawncrafty]

Love your quilt. I'd order more fabric since you need more of other fabrics. I wish paper piecing was easier. I get so confused.

[@kellyhale2778]

That quilt is beautiful! Love your pattern and the colors.

[@suziehemmer6116]

Very pretty

[@joycedollar1198]

Use you add a quarter from paper side that gives a ridge like the block lock to grab on and not slip. I like my wing clipper the best. Just got an accuuilt with 3 x 6 die. Getting ready to try it out 1st time.

[@barbarabateman7215]

I just discovered your channel and like it a lot!! I may get brave and make some flying geese!!

[@thequiltingcompound]

Thank you and go ahead and try the flying geese. Thanks for watching 😊

[@debbielong1168]

Looks great, thank you

[@beckyosborn9386]

I have found pressing before trimming works better for me, fewer of them need squaring up

[@RuthStash]

I like the 4-at-a-time but cut my squares a little larger so I can trim down.

[@patriciadavidson3328]

Use what you have… very pretty ❤

[@candacefife6763]

I would make it bigger. Buy the fabric. It is a beautiful quilt

[@dorisdunn9845]

I’d order more background fabric. I’d probably do another border around of the flying geese

[@shellyesh5025]

I just make 2 half square triangles and sew them together. Works every time.

[@thequiltingcompound]

That’s what I usually do too!! Thanks for watching 😊

[@sonjadevenney2524]

😮it’s gorgeous

[@lindamersch2178]

Really like your quilt! I would go with background that you used for the stars. I too have "challenges" making flying geese. Thanks for the demonstration!

[@sharonspencer6486]

I would use what I already have instead of ordering more.😊❤

[@paulasturgess9235]

Love it!

[@nancysharon931]

My favorite way to make 4 at a time flying geese is Eleanor Burns' method.

[@beverlyakins2374]

Beautiful quilt love your fabric choice, what fabric line is that? I just purchased the AccuQuilt go electric for my Christmas gift. I have tried four at a time method but haven’t tried the paper piecing method yet. I would order more of the background fabric, thanks for sharing Jamie

[@LauraSup]

I’m sorry I haven’t responded sooner Jayme! Unfortunately, I have had the crud that has been going around! I did email you today regarding the giveaway! Thank you so very much for your generous gift and for allowing me time to email you! I love your channel!❤

[@jw3280]

I use Quill in a Day ruler. Quick and easy

[@thequiltingcompound]

I haven’t tried that ruler I don’t think. 🤔 Thanks for watching 😊

[@candacefife6763]

Can you over size a bit and do the 4 at a time method and then use the blok lock ruler to cut it correctly? Would that work?

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

Why don't you try 5-1/2 " and 3" blocks? Then you should be able to trim to the correct size. Thanks for sharing

[@thequiltingcompound]

I may do that for the borders. I really like the four at a time method. Thanks for watching 😊

[@vickrickers]

Thanks for this video. I do have accuquilt but will need to many flying geese soon to do star flower quilt. I think I will look for the paper piecing and the rulers you have to measure up. Oh what were the rules you had please. Hopefully I can find them here in Australia. Thanks again.

[@thequiltingcompound]

They are Bloc loc rulers. I hope you can find them. Thanks for watching 😊

[@dstitcher2]

I think you are missing the quarter square die to make flying geese with the accuquilt. Using the rectangle as you did adds complexity.

[@d.thomas1302]

Like paper pieced geese - Donna Thomas in WI

[@sisterdube6235]

YOU COULD USE A COMPANION EZ RULER AND THE EZ ANGLE RULER

[@thequiltingcompound]

I’m not sure if I know what they are but I will look them up. Thanks for watching 😊

[@judithfrench2665]

I would order the fabric

[@lynnperschke3966]

I use Deb Tucker flying geese method and ruler so much easier

[@jessicatexasjh]

I say use what you have.

[@sonjadevenney2524]

I mess up on flying geese as well. I would like to be proficient but hasn’t happened yet

[@user-do2ok1ch2o]

Order more fabric to match. This is much prettier than that second print

[@thequiltingcompound]

I agree 😊 Thanks for watching 😀

[@user-my9kl4yo2q]

is there a pattern for this quilt

[@thequiltingcompound]

I will have one out soon, I hope. Thanks for watching 😊

[@melodywalls4693]

Red or salmon color

[@paulasturgess9235]

I would stay with your background your using

[@sheilafruge60]

My superpower is screwing up flying geese . I can mess up any method ! I just paper piece them now

[@janeinesmith3953]

Order

[@gerricampbell6479]

Order background.

[@ginabraun3525]

Love your quilt
