However I was just reading the Virginia Star and was wondering if you could help me with the math for what size pieces I need if I want to do the flying geese the magic way? I did the block on the quilt along... with Kate and it turned out but I really did not enjoy the flying geese. Then I made flying geese the magic way with one of my on line bees and this was much easier for me. I want to try this block with the magic way. Is that possible? If so can you help me make sure I am cutting the right size squares to make the geese?Shawn Stephenson Schumacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286568758629326440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347662658917669211.post-25244957928975624052011-08-19T14:14:48.781-05:002011-08-19T14:14:48.781-05:00Thanks for sending people my way! :)Thanks for sending people my way! :)Katie @SwimBikeQuilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05140324323541294423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347662658917669211.post-15072187909841019202011-08-17T14:32:36.081-05:002011-08-17T14:32:36.081-05:00As always thank you so much for the math.

But I must have lost concentration for a while anyway because what I've just pieced is the opposite of a star ;) <br />I still like it and posted it on my blog (maybe you know what its name can be). And Virginia Star will have to wait till tomorrow.tusenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16922105659781202661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347662658917669211.post-64344465636490788572011-08-15T15:05:50.464-05:002011-08-15T15:05:50.464-05:00Finished!
