    Well, I started my geese and am doing the PP method with one change. I'm too tight (ha) to use a rectangle for the "goose" part so I cut triangles a wee bit larger than the required goose triangle. Then I cut the side triangles a wee bit larger than required. I have very little waste this way. I like that.

      Good, Denise - that made me feel better to hear. I have my geese attached. Since I used the sawtooth stars instead of the pinwheels, this is where I planned to stop all along - mainly because this is the size I need for where I plan to hang it. I'll post a picture in Show & Tell soon.

        Oh, Montana Lady, you were smart to plan to hang. The further I get I'm thinking with all this work, I wish I could hang it, but I can't afford a house large enough to hang this baby! It's getting huge! I'm kind of happy to be back at 'small' pieces like geese. More manageable!

            I was reading Sue's directions about adjusting the geese to fit the quilt. It seems to me that before adding the previous floater it would be prudent to wait and see what the geese measure and then calculate the floater to fit the geese.

            Since she taught this skill, I intent to wait and use it for making my geese fit. Sounds easier than going back and adjusting the strips to fit.

            I only have 6 of the 88 required geese strips done, so it will be awhile. ha

                I just started cutting fabric today. I wish the quilt fairy would come and do them for me. I know it will be just fine once I get started sewing but the starting part is not wanting to happen.

                  I'm not going to add the flying geese--my quilt has told me it's finished. I've had the top on my quilt ladder and I've been looking at it deciding if I should add more. It just feels finished. I'm actually making flying geese for a Civil War quilt, so I'm not just chicken! :lol:

                    Judy, when the quilt says its done, it is always best to listen to it!

                      I finally started the sewing on the geese using the paper piecing method as I want to get more proficient. It was painful to begin with as I am truely upsidedown and backwards challenged. I got better as I went along but OMG it was bad to begin with. Gloria
