Flying geese are one of those blocks every quilter eventually meets, and getting them right can feel like a small victory. Mary from Joyful and Merry Quilting shares her method for framed flying geese, and the precision she gets is exactly what we all aim for.
Here is what makes this technique worth learning:
- Consistent points every time. Mary shows you how to avoid the dreaded chopped-off points that ruin the look of flying geese. Her method is straightforward and works on the first try.
- A framed look that adds polish. The frame around each goose gives the block a finished, intentional feel. It is a small detail that makes a big difference in the overall quilt.
- No special tools needed. You do not need rulers with fancy markings or templates. Just your regular ruler, your machine, and a bit of patience.
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.
