I love the look of Flying Geese but I hate the lengthy process and the wastage so I have generally avoided them. I made a big long goose chain for Muriel in a Bee once and I shied away from them despite my love of Denyse Schmidt's glorious Flock of Triangles quilt. And then I had a break through whilst having a look at various Sizzix projects on their website. I found the Swarm Quilt project entrirely based on 2 sizes of geese- the dies did all the work. I had the half square triangle die already so I set to work getting the remaining triangle die that makes the centre.
And you can see how easy it is, dog ears trimmed, accurate, minimal wastage- this is where cutting dies really excel- and this one will get used for quarter square triangles too.
and fast!
Neat...
And ready for a border- sorry I can't show more- bound by silence...
