Fantastic explanation. Thank you.

What a beautiful book cover this is. As the flying geese is my favorite block im buggered if I know why I've never actually sewn it. That is going to change today because as soon as I find my sewing table under a lot of fabrics I'm going to sew this up

[@donnadailey5062]

Thank you for this tutorial. I'm struggling with the math and you make it sound so easy... I'll try making a few scrap Geese and see how I do (wish me luck), and I bought a journal to begin recording lessons learned... yours will be the first / star. Thank you for sharing your time and talent. Greatly appreciated.

[@elizabethdale8566]

This was the best explanation on how to figure out the sizes of the flying geese. THANK YOU

[@tracybrewer3377]

What a great idea to have a quilt journal. I have so many pieces of paper with notes written on and then when I need it can't find the thing at all

[@donnadailey5062]

Thank you, again, for this great tutorial. My "quilting journal" is WIP. Do you (or any of your viewers) have a formula for creating any size "floating points"? I come from garment making world where seams were 5/8", I find my FG points aren't as sharp (if showing at all) as your example and I watch Donna Jordan's YT tutorials but apparently have a mental block. Any help will be so greatly appreciated. I bought my beautiful fabric and want to make the Loving Wishes quilt (Maple Cottage) for my great granddaughter due to arrive late spring 2024. Thank you for wonderful tutorials. I enjoy listening to you, your voice is lovely, you speak so clearly and in terms I understand. Be blessed.

I was glad to find this. I am sewing a pattern asking for this method and I could make no sense at all of the photo. I earned to quilt on KZbin. Your explanation is so very clear and unhurried. Thank you.

Thank you for making this video. Yours is the best explanation and demo I have watched.

[@HeidiCreates]

I’m glad you found it helpful. Happy creating!

[@jayanthirao9726]

Thank you very much Heidi for this wonderful tutorial. I loved the idea of maintaining a quilt journal (maybe you can make a video to get us all started with one) Math!!! It’s so so useful, thanks 😊 I actually tried my very first flying geese block while watching your video, it came out pretty well 😊 Take care, stay safe!

[@HeidiCreates]

Thank you! You just read my mind. 😂

[@sandybruderer2084]

Thanks for the lesson🥰🇨🇦

[@carmenbailey1560]

Thanks for sharing, very well explained. I’m a fairly new quilter and have yet to do a flying goose. 👍❤️😊

[@HeidiCreates]

Oh good. I was hoping it would be.

[@lindaborowiec6049]

Perfect!

[@maribethstrand2341]

Great tutorial

[@candacekerr4139]

I always had a problem with the points😊! Yours look great! Now I’m working with curves. Takes a lot of practice.

[@HeidiCreates]

They sure do!

[@BAM-jc7uy]

would love to see a flying goose block finished with a 3/8 inch (above point/sky top) rather than 1/4 inch OR a squaring up flying goose, dedicated ruler that gives the 3/8in at top...OR measurements and method to accomplish a 3/8 in seam to give an optional on how close you want the point & sky to be from the actual seam sewing line.

[@margiedewitt7256]

I need the width to be 2.5 But length can be larger than 1.5

[@rutheglin-pugh2320]

A square is also a rectangle! The shape youre rerring to is an oblong!

[@tributetomama]

Yikes that math hurt my head lol. Love the video though. Thank you.

[@HeidiCreates]

Well shoot! I didn’t mean for that to happen! Rest your head. 😉😊

[@tributetomama]

@@HeidiCreates once I write it down it will click I’m sure. Lol

[@susancrow6941]

This math does Not work. She says to add 1.75 to the big one but that results in the losing your points. You actually need to add only 1.25 inches.
