Hello Quilters

I need to make a correction on the Garden quilt top. I was saying 12 half squares when I should of been saying flying geese in each block. I was thinking flying geese but saying half-squares. Sorry about that. Has anyone else done this before, saying one thing but meaning something else?? Oh well, there will always be days like that.

Been taking my time sewing the blocks together which takes little over hour and 15 minutes for each block. What takes so much time is my tying all those strings. I now have 9 out of 30 blocks done. I am slow like a turtle but will make it to the finish line eventually. Laughing here.

Hello Leslie,
For got to thank you for the addresses for flying geese. I see the first has charts for different sizes of geese.
I have been taking my 3 1/2 inch x 4 1/2 inch rect and placing my smaller squares on one end of the 3 1/2 corner marking and stitching diagonally, doing one square at a time, then cutting off but leaving the seam allowance. This is slow and seems to be a lot of waste too. I hate to waste material especially at the high prices we have to pay now days.
