Welcome Russ! Leslie, those are good sites. I use the method in the 2nd
site, as well as your mthod when I don't want 4 alike. But I don't toss the
triangles :-)

Here's a few methods. I don't see any waste with them, unless you don't
need *four* flying geese.

I usually make mine by putting a square in the corner of the rectangle,
sewing diagonally across the square and then trimming off the corner
triangle.... and tossing those triangles. There's a fair amount of waste,
but I justify it by the accuracy and the time saved.

This website has an amazing amount of info on just about any quilting
technique plus blocks and patterns and links... and... and... LOL If you
only have one quilting link then this is the one to have! Spend some time
looking thru what they have to offer-

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
