Love your videos. You and your family inspire my quilting life. Thanks

[@Sewmena918]

What a cute block, especially with your fabric. ❤

[@michaeltoddharris3424]

I love this block! Love allow your beautiful fabrics too

[@lizpelletier7785]

Thank you for the July block! I spend the extra time while planning fabric placement with flying geese. I usually have directional fabric all going the same way. I make bigger and trim down using the Creative Grids Ultimate Flying Geese ruler. Love it because it’s so easy to use.

[@jbosdachin6]

I love flying geese!!! I can’t wait to start.

[@elizabethmurphy1978]

I’m a huge fan of the Creative Grids Flying Geese tool! 😊

[@szelop]

I love that you included the 16” block!

[@sandybruce9092]

I had a bit of trouble with printing also. I have a 6-year old iPad Air and one that is slightly ver 1 year old - I tried several ways to get the pattern printed and finally hit in one that worked! Thank you - this is a great block - and I live flying geese!!!

[@manuelashannon1369]

I like using foundation paper piecing for flying geese or Eleanor Burn’s 4 or a time and the Quilt in a Day Calling All Geese Ruler. That’s a very pretty block.

[@jeanettehammons2318]

This is my first month that I’m watching the video and was excited that this was a freebie! I was hesitant in downloading after reading the comment about having issues. I’m using an older iPad and I had no issues downloading and printing. Having been a Library Director for a tricounty library system before I retired, I know the frustration that comes along with technology! We had desktop and laptop computers, tablets and ereaders. They all had little idiosyncrasies that we had to figure out at different times. I hope those that have issues downloading and printing find a solution!

[@baseballquilter]

You have a lot of catching up to do. They are super easy to download. Have fun! 😊

[@user-cr1mm1ys8e]

Thank you Sheri. I haven’t started mine yet but I do had the fabric. It is In the que!!!!! ❤❤❤

[@jeannegiebe2718]

There is a 4 x 8 in finished BlocLoc ruler for flying geese.

[@susanlee1827]

Yup! Bloc Loc DOES make a 4x8! But I love using some different rulers sometimes too! Love all of your different stars in this year quilt❤

[@RuthStash]

Bloc Loc does make the large trimmer, I have it 😊

[@carmenbailey1560]

👍❤️🙂

[@GardenGrammie28]

I can not get this to print off my phone ... do I have to use my computer ? Can you help me please ?

[@ms.louise]

I appreciate all that you do for quilters and free patterns. But I must tell you your downloads are frustrating and not user friendly. I’ve waited to do this project because I’m not sure of getting each month to print out. It can sometimes take me 3-4 tries to get it to print. I know I’m not the only one because I’ve brought this up in a forum before and many say the the thing. I’m just being honest with you.

[@jackiearagon1268]

I found that if I download the pattern first then print it works perfectly, but it took me a few tries to figure that out. Hope this helps you since this is such a great pattern.
