Quick and Easy Flying Geese
Making traditional Flying Geese units takes time, wastes fabric, and the units almost always come out wonky. Using the Wing Clipper tool makes creating flying geese units fast and easy, with no fabric waste. No need to cut triangles! No need to piece triangles! With 1 large square and 4 small squares, you will make a set of 4 complete Flying Geese. Use these units in your quilts as Flying Geese, star points, chevrons, and all kinds of designs.
