Jenny,
Thanks for the great tutorial. All the books show a different way of doing flying geese and I have had the worst time with it. But I love the way you put it together. Take care.
I have been looking around at different flying geese tutorials out there and dreading having to buy a special ruler and cut triangles. It didn’t hit me until I saw this post that one flying geese unit is made up of two half-square triangles! I’m seriously kicking myself right now for not having figured that out.
Thanks so much for the eye-opening tutorial!
Meghan, I know what you mean. Sometimes it just takes a visual!! Good luck with the geese. hehe
