more on Flying Geese!!

http://www.fabric-etc.com/fab-etc-f-...cts-2-7-07.htm

i usually use the no-waste flying geese as shown on patchpieces.com
doe anyone know the formula used on the link above making only two of them.
there are times ya only need/want two of one colour/fabric so thot i'd ask.
at this time of day it took the old brain a few seconds to comprehend how it
worked.
i see its basically making an offset QST and cutting it down the middle into two
FGs.
very clever and so useful i just want to know the formula for it.
perhaps there is another place these are online?
anyone got a link for me to go look at?

IIRC - if you use a 6.5" "sky" and a 5.5" "geese" block to
start, and sew with a scant 1/4" seam you finish with a
4.5X2.5" FG unit (4X2" finished).

I have it all somewhere - will try to put up a link later.

HTH

BTW - it makes FOUR units, not two.

Should have added - units made like this can require a
LITTLE trimming all round (not just one side) to get precise
measurements, but wastage is not too bad.

I like the book that published this method - All the Blocks
are Geese by Mary Sue Suit. Came out back in '94 but I
guess it is still around.

Jeanne, you still get 4 from the 2 squares. That is the method that
Eleanor Burns uses and has rulers for. But I don't remember the
"formula" for it. sigh.

That's my favorite "geese" method, too. I first encountered that method
in a Quilt in a Day pattern; their "flying geese" ruler utilizes that
method, but in only a few sizes. Mary Sue's is much more flexible and
gives perfect geese every time.
