Default Has anyone any comments on the 'Square in a square' method?

Welcome Russ

Here is the method that I use to make flying geese. All you have to do is
cut squares and sew them together and cut them apart again in the right way
and there is no waste at all.

This is the link to my website where I've posted two sheets of directions.
http://rainbowmoose.googlepages.com/pattern_page.html

One page is the for the directions and the other page is a chart for the
sizes to cut to make several different sizes of flying geese. Also, no
special ruler needed.

Hope this helps.

I'm a neophyte quilter (4 baby quilts under my belt, making new mistakes,
er, make that 'learning more with each one').

I recently saw a web video of a person using what she called the 'Square in
a square method' to make half-triangle squares and flying geese. It looked
very easy, but a bit wasteful of fabric.

Has anyone seen this before, have any comments, etc? I don't want to
spring for a book or two and a special ruler if it is not worthwhile.

Thanks everyone....

Russ
