How do you figure the sizes for flying geese if you only know the finsihed size using elenor's flying geese way.

She gives a couple of rulers and dimensions for them but what about all the other sizes. How do you figure them.

[Evie]

I think she gives the formula that if your flying geese is 3" by 6" then you add 1 1/2" to 6" for the small square (which turns out the be the large triangle) = 7 1/2" then add another 1 1/2" to get 9" for the large square (the two small triangles). She demonstrates on one of her videos how to use a regular square up ruler to make these. You only need the special rulers after you have done all your sewing.

2" X 4" = 4" + 1 1/2" = 5 1/2" (small square) 5 1/2" + 1 1/2" = 7" (large square)

Ok, I found a website with pictures and instructions using a regular ruler:

Evie,
Thank you for your loyalty to Eleanor and Quilt in a Day. You are most appreciated.

I was wondering the same thing!!! Thanks Evie!

[Evie]

You're welcome. I really like how Eleanor takes something and makes it easy. Her method is my favorite way because I get perfect geese everytime. I don't always get perfect ones when I have to attach the little squares to the rectangle then sew on the line then trim. They sometimes turn out lopsided!

One of her programs with Sue Bouchard ?SP she shows how to calculate to make the flying geese any size, but I forgot which one, it was one with stars...
