Sharon, I think you are referring to Eleanor Burns method. For example to make a 3x6" finished geese patch, cut the larger square 9" and the smaller square 7 1/2". The smaller square is always 1 1/2" smaller. You draw a diagonal line and sew 1/4" either side. Cut and repeat lining up outside edges. Then you square them up to whatever finished size you need them. That makes 4.

I don't know about only using 2 squares of fabric for flying geese, but I have just been using this method http://www.patchpieces.com/files/flyinggeese.pdf Is it any good for you?

Does anyone know the formula for making flying geese out of two fabric squares. I can't for the life of me find my notes. For example one square is 4" and the other square is 6" - or something like that. I need 1 1/2 x 3" wide. I know you sew from corner to corner, cut it and then place it on again... but apparently the Alzheimer's is working overtime today. LOL

Any help appreciated.

Sharon
