Thank u so much for coming up with these techniques that uses minimal resources in terms of rulers, n create the complex pieces efficiently in a very neat finished form! Just amazing!

    I have never heard of you or your technique and none of the 10,000+ quilters who have seen this ever mentioned they had been developed before. But it isn't rocket science, just basic geometry and a willingness to break the no bias edges rule. You shouldn't be so quick to accuse a person of dishonest business practice. If you would reach out via email perhaps we can discuss. If in fact your method is exactly like mine and since we developed independently but you did it first, i would be happy to give you credit as i am sure you would to any quilter who also came up with this before you.

    Every quilter I know loves techniques that save time and are better for their project. To think no one has come up with this idea before is absurd. There are very few new things in the quilting world. Certain patterns might..... might.... be unique but they're very rare. To assume the complainer was the first just doesn't fly. The person who accused you of dishonest practices needs to get a grip. You explained this technique beautifully.

    Carla, I ordered your shortcut sheets yesterday but I would like to do a practice run on some today. My finished geese need to be 3x6 so should I cut the strips at 5 1/4 for the geese part and 4 inch's for the sky part. And from watching the video why do you add a 3 inch piece of sky on the end of your sew sections? Thank you, Vicki

    This is amazing, great job....but may I ask how do you figure what measurements you would need to do different sizes of flying geese. I need to make 5 blocks of the dutchman's puzzle pattern for a quilt swap that I have entered into. And my flying geese need to measure 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" for a block that measures 12 1/2" any help would be greatly appreciated.

    @KitsbyCarla

    5 жыл бұрын

    The largest flying geese we list measurements for on the shortcut sheet is 3 1/2" by 6 1/2". The method could be used to make larger units but the waste on the outside of the sheet becomes larger and typically with very large units there aren't many needed for a project.
