Quick and Easy Flying GeeseHello again. Here is another tutorial
fromNancy's Fabrics. This tutorial is about making quick flying
geese using one large square and 4 smaller squares. This technique
only works when you have a larger square that is 2 times larger
then your small squares. Lets get started. First lets get the math
out of the way. You can get special rulers and gadgets to do this
but the easiest and less expensive is toAdd 7/8" to the finished
height of the small triangle. Cut 4 squares this size.
Add 1 1/4" to the finished base of the large triangle. Cut 1 square
this size.Example: If you small triangle is 2" in height your
square would be 2 7/8 and if the base of your large triangle is 4
inches you cut a square that is 5 1/4". This is the measurements we
will be using for this turtorialMaterials:Fabric Scraps(or yardage
