No Waste Flying Geese – 4 at 1 time

Thank you so much for sharing!

Today I’ve got a great quilting technique video for you. Learn how to make no waste flying geese with this easy to follow video tutorial!  And we get to make 4 at once! This is a great method when you need to make a lot of flying geese or you have blocks that specifically need 4.

Flying Geese are a staple in quilting. It doesn’t matter if you have more of a modern or traditional aesthetic, these are always good to know how to make.  They can also be a bit frustrating at first, but once you learn the little tricks they are a breeze.

What you need to make these no waste flying geese:

Here is the chart I created for the flying geese.  Follow along with the video to learn all of the steps, but here is the measurements for cutting your squares based on what you need.

*Measurements are in inches

A Note on Trimming

In the video I mention that you need to line up the 3 1/4 mark with the tip of the triangle.  If you are doing a different size, that number needs to be half of the width of your cut size. So 3 1/4 was half of 6 1/2 which was the width of the block in my demo.

This method of making flying geese is perfect for blocks like the Sawtooth Star block that need exactly 4 same size flying geese.

If you love to make flying geese, I recommend the Wing Clipper Ruler.  It’s great to know the basics, but if you are making a lot of these for a quilt it does make things easier, especially with the trimming.

I also love the Quilt in a Day Flying Geese ruler, can you tell I love making these?!  Here is a video I made on how to use this type of ruler. https://youtu.be/LMgD04477Rs
