I used the Companion Angle ruler and 2” strips of purple to cut 128 purple quarter square triangles and the Easy Angle ruler and 2” strips of black-on-white strips with right sides together to cut 128 matched pairs of triangles. This gave me 128 right side triangles and 128 left side triangles.
I matched the edges and the top notches of the right side wing triangles to the right side of the goose triangle and stitched. Pressed the right wing open then added the left wing triangles and pressed it open. This gave me the necessary 128 - 2” X 3-1/2” unfinished flying geese units.
If that isn’t ENOUGH to keep me busy this week – Bonnie said we could go ahead and cut 64 2” X 3-1/2” rectangles from our black-on-white prints. She said that we’ll be using those in a future step, and we’ll have them readily on hand.
I like your geese! You chose to go with a more tame shade of purple than I did LOL, and I like how they play with your black-on-white fabrics. This was my first time using the Easy Angle and Companion Angle rulers for this block, and I think I'll use them from now on. It was so easy to get nice, properly sized geese without wasting any fabric. :)
ReplyDeleteI see you're into pining the units together too. Makes it sooo much easier not having to re count hundreds of times!
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of black and white....I really should have taken a better picture of mine showing more of the purple :(
ReplyDeleteI had an obscene amount of black and white so I doubt I will ever run out LOL
Thank you for the house compliment. That's my house this spring.
Your black and white prints are very nice! This was my first try with using the two rulers, it went well I think. Thanks for the comment.
ReplyDeleteJust look at your geese! I'm very impressed - and can't wait to use up all of the fab I cut for the 'other method' - I'm anxious to try the two rulers (now that I have them). Yes, I think this will a full weeks worth of work...LOL...Keep up the great work!!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty purples! I don't know about you, but I can't wait to see how this all goes together!
ReplyDeleteWe're going to have a very busy December sewing!
