But I love flying geese, and I have always wanted to be able to sew them. So I gave it another try with this new-to-me tutorial.
I cut a lot of squares. Started sewing...
Oh....since my machine doesn't have a 1/4inch foot (well....I haven't bought one), I decided how large I wanted the geese to be when finished. 20cm x 10cm.
Then I cut the white squares 20cm + 5 x seam-allowance = 22,5cm square.
The small squares 10cm + 3,5 x seam-allowance = 11,75 cm square.
I also did a little work on Charles' Christmas-present. I made 5 extra blocks so now the quilt is long enough...

Those dots are gorgeous.
You have been a busy bee! I love polka dot and the colours you have chosen are so pretty.
That's my favourite method of doing flying geese too - but I have in fact bought a special ruler, which I have never used - must give that a try one day...
Those last eight blocks for C's quilt will no doubt come together in no time at all, judging by how fast you've made the rest of them! Love the quilt, and can't wait to see what will become of those geese!
