Hand Pieced QAL Flying Geese

This week's block for Hand Pieced Quilt Along is made with Flying Geese. Kristin at Simple.Handmade.Everyday provided the easy-to-follow tutorial this week. Patty at Elm Street Quilts showed an alternate method called "Stitch and Flip", which is the process I normally follow. And I believe there is at least one other way to make flying geese called the No Waste Method.

These flying geese units are placed in pairs in a pattern called Dutchman's Puzzle. Sewing all these intersections took more time for me, but I still enjoyed the slower pace of hand stitching. My block measures at a slightly wonky 6-3/8 inch, so I'm getting closer to 6-1/2 inches.

I am joining the link-up on Patty's blog, where you will find much more information about this quilt-along as well as links to a growing number of participants' blocks. It's exciting that so many are joining in!
