Once you start spotting Flying Geese, they really do show up everywhere, peeking out of borders, hiding inside other blocks, holding entire quilt designs together. In her latest video Becky Bruhn pulls them all together in one really lovely tour, walking through method after method so you can see just how flexible this classic little block is.
Here is why this one is worth watching:
- Several methods, all in one place. Becky covers the four-at-a-time technique, scrappy versions, wonky improv, Stroked Flying Geese, and even a bonus one-seam method, so you finish the video with a really full toolkit.
- The honest little redos. She is not afraid to revisit a block when she is not quite happy with it, including a sweet pink remake and a second go at the wonky version, which makes the whole tutorial feel encouraging rather than perfect.
- A peek at how Flying Geese live in real designs. She shares how these blocks slip into Sawtooth Stars, borders, and bigger patterns, which is so helpful when you are dreaming up your own quilt.
For the three methods side by side, the size chart for every unit size and how to keep the point, see our guide to making flying geese quilt blocks.
Do you have a favourite way of making Flying Geese, or is there a method here you have been longing to try? We would love to hear in the comments which version you would reach for first.
