I used the Quilt in a Day 2″ finished size mini geese ruler to make the 8 flying geese units.  I was pleased with the results.  Doing the “Stitch-and-Flip” technique to add to a half-square triangle unit was a first for me.

 Since I am using solid fabrics I felt the block would be more pleasing with fewer colors.  It was nice to have an easy to piece block.

When choosing fabrics for this block I think it is important to have a clear contrast in value.  I selected a very dark green, a medium blue and a very light green.

  1. I love your quote on the fridge. I need to remember that and share it with my 8 yr old son… when we are rushing too fast through our day! Found the sew along by accidents. I love accidents! LOL!
