If you wanted to know about the flying geese block, this is where you should start. We start the basics , one-at-time methoed and the 4-at-a-time NO WASTE method and then move to more advanced versions by using your fabrics the best way possible. And I have another sewing hack with masking tape at the end to make the trimming easier. I use the Omnigrid ½” ruler to mark the sewing lines. See link below to get yours. Links to the videos I reference are below.

I can’t believe how long this video took to make....mind you it is twice as long. Now I can spend the weekend cutting my fabric for my Meadowland quilt. Enjoy.
I thought of this as I watched the video...
Thank you so much for the effort. ❤️
Thanks for explaining the methods so clearly!
Same over here, did errands and been running all over town today...now after coming home I switch on my PC and want to get comfy at my sewing machine...while I watch/listen to one of your videos or two :D ...just saw your offer of Make modern and clicked it in a rush...guess what? I got the 5 last free copy of it...Weeeeoh :D now I am a lucky bird -usually I miss out on things like this due to the time difference... Thanks for all your stuff
Thanks for the helpful tips.
Your brain and mine must be wired the same way - your videos are the only ones that make sense to me. Thank you for the complex video-making for the simplest quilt-learning.
It's a good day when you find a "Just Get it Done Quilts" video in your UA-cam stream!!!!!
😊
This was the best explanation of flying geese I have ever seen in my 25 years of quilting. You are the best teacher, you come away having learned a valuable lesson every time ! Thank you
Wow, thank you! I try to make something for both beginner and experienced quilters
Wonderful demo- you surprise me again
I agree. I’ve always struggled being accurate. Lots of helpful tips. I will examine my fabric in a new light following this great informative video. I highly recommend for all skill levels.
I have watch the Flying Geese, one of my favorite blocks, numerous times and always find something new in it. There is no other like it on You Tube.
I consider myself an intermediate experienced quilter but I am constantly amazed how much I learn from each of your videos and how much information you include in each video. I know it takes a lot of work to plan and prepare these videos but you do a terrific job as a teacher.
Congratulations on being featured in the magazine.
Thank you so much Gret. I appreciate your support.
I’ve been quilting for years and apparently have never made a flying geese (goose). For a guild quilt challenge I was assigned the King’s Crown block. After fussing with the geese that weren’t flying at all, I decided to get on you tube for help. This was the first video to pop up! LOVE your simple methodology to making (4) at a time. And NOW my geese have the extra fabric on top so I don’t lose my point when sewn together. THANK YOU! 😊 You made my frustration disappear.
Wonderful
This is fabulous! I might have to watch it another 20 times to absorb all the information! 🤪💗
That’s what I was thinking to🤪
Yay! Thank you!
there is a lot
Me too! Not only left handed, I also get directionally messed up!!! LOL...
@@sheilacripps9340 Me too. Hello from a fellow leftie :) these videos are great.
Wow! my head is spinning with flying geese going in all directions. This is a video I certainly will be watching many times to gain and practice this approach to flying geese. I started quilt sewing 40 years a go and this is the most articulate and best illustrated development to the flying geese method. Karen you are a genius.
Thank you
I have made HUNDREDS of the real traditional flying geese blocks. I'm talking cutting out triangles and hand sewing them into a block. But you just blew my mind with that orphan block idea! I may have to find someway to fit a sewing machine in my life and make a few orphan blocks on purpose! 😁😂😆
LOL
I never thought of marking the back of the rectangle for the flying geese! But it really makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the genius tip!
Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant! I am working on a bom with a quilting group. There are several blocks that would have benefited from these tips. In fact, 2 of them are getting redone!
I will say your videos are very detail ! Your going to go a long way in life and on here !
I do hope you realize, for your subscribers, how much we love & appreciate your channel...just sat down with my coffee to see what was new in UA-cam land...and saw you posted a new tute...and am so excited to watch it! Such great content, and you are so inspiring! Thankyou!
I Love hearing that! I try to make them to be enjoyed over morning coffee
Karen---this is your best video so far, and all of them are great!! Your videos are for those of us who want to learn and not just chit chat about whatever. So appreciate all your efforts and time spent to make the videos clear, concise, and extremely informative. Thank you is really not enough, but thank you!!!
I have always hated making flying geese because no matter what I do they are always a little off. I never dreamed of sewing on the big piece! I'm excited to try the "fancy" geese with the mountains of orphan blocks I have as well. So many great ideas. Thank you!
😎
The tape on the ruler tip is a game changer!!
I've read and watched dozens of how-to guides on the flying-geese block. NONE of those other educators addressed how to "elevate" your cutting to produce successful flying-geese designs. This video explains so much. It was perfection. I'll never need to (or want to) watch another video on the flying geese block. Thank you, Karen. You're the best.
So happy to see you this morning. Prayers for your family.
thank you
Great instruction! You are pleasant, clear, easy to listen to, your videos are perfectly timed, no waste of time!
Glad it was helpful!
Great information!! Thank you Karen. I really appreciate someone who doesn’t tell me I need to buy ANOTHER ruler 😂
It's been 3 months since you made this video, but it just showed up on my UA-cam stream today! By sewing from the back, you've solved the problem of not having the 1/4" seam allowance needed at the top of the goose! I looked on line and in books for days to try to figure out what I was doing wrong and how to correct it. That problem held up my quilt till now when you solved it with this video.. THANK YOU!
It's the little things...
Oh Karen! This is what I needed. I am having such trouble with my new, otherwise lovely Janome, eating the points of my geese. There has been cursing, there has been wine, there have been threats to send machine back to the dark storeroom! Now I will snip the point. I already watched this when it first came out but didn’t perhaps have the same issues. I knew I could rely on you xx
Wonderful!
I almost did not watch but soooo glad I did. I've been sewing for over 60 years and this old dog learned a bunch of new stuff watching this video - from using orphan blocks to the ledge for the trimming. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and talents with us.
Very happy to hear...trying hard to make my videos appeal to both newbies and advanced quilters
This information would be so great in a booklet!!!!
Hi Karen, I just finished listening to your blog about your progress on your paper piecing project, and making BLUE QUILTS!!! I keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Thank God for the good news for your son, what a HUGE relief. I'm glad that you showed us that every time you went in to sew you ended up doing other things. It happens to me often also. But in the end it helps me get mentally ready for my next thing. What ever that is. I feel better after I've done some of these non-sewing things. Karen, I think you need a mental health break. You go at things so hard. Can you and a friend or 2 go have a weekend away? Just go poking around some odd little stores. Maybe just take yourself out for some poking around and some lunch. Where you sit DOWN to order, bring a new pattern to go over or a book. Just leave in the morning, knowing you have dinner set for the guys at home. ( I think you said your husband cooks) and walk around after lunch, read your book and do NOTHING MORE THAN WHAT CAN HELP YOU, KAREN HAVE A SIMPLE DAY FOR YOURSELF. I admire you very much, long before your world got turned upside down. You need to take a few breaks, I'm saying this because of the change in you. You are a wonderful person, your style of teaching is very coherent, like you've been a teacher your whole life. But now you're pressed, I want the best for you and your family. One day I'll write why I started to quilt. I hope that all of you stay safe from this Covid 19 and your son continues to get better. May God Bless you and your family, Debbie
I will now look at this block with a new perspective. Thank you Karen for taking the time to make this video and explaining the formulas, measuring and cutting, and sewing from the back. Genius!
You are so welcome!
I Love your method in making flying geese. I have never seen it done that way before.
I can’t believe how long it took me to make the FG ruler hack! Two days, numerous viewing of the video then finally got it! But you know what they say -“slow and steady” to the finish line! Onto trimming FG!!!!😃
I've been quilting for decades, and this is the BEST instructional video I've ever seen on flying geese. Your presentation and style are fabulous. Thank you!
Wow, thank you! Glad you liked it
Oh good! There you are!
😎
I actually gasped when you used an orphan block for a goose! What a brilliant idea! I have lots of other people's orphans that have been donated to a charity I work with. I'm going to pull them all out and look for good candidates for "goosing." Thank you so much for the idea!
The trimming hack with the tape = GENIUS. Thank you for this gem!
Oh my you are my quilting muse!
My head is about to explode! 🤯 BEST flying geese video I have ever seen. A must watch of at least a few more times to absorb all the info you provided. Thanks Karen 😃.
I normally put this much into one video but I couldn't see a logical way to cut it up in to two. Luckily you can watch it over and over as needs be
The sewing flying geese on the reverse is genius! I just finished a quilt top with every flying geese unit turning out perfectly!
Bravo
This is my favorite quilting video ever. It is both thorough and concise. Plus when teaching about how fabric works in the block, you don’t just teach us what to think, you teach us how to think. That process could apply in so many places, thank you for sharing it. 😊👏
I have never been wild about making flying geese blocks because I always had so much trouble with them! When I have to make them I go through the trouble of making paper pieced patterns! Marking from the back is a game changer! Another wonderful video that I will be watching again and again! Thank you, Karen!
Glad I could help!
Hope your son is doing well and you are looking after yourself too!
As usual you make it look so easy,,, let’s see if I can do this half as accurately... love your work. I always look forward to what you’re going to teach me next,,, thanks so much.
During this difficult time,, you are making videos to help get us through it. I appreciate it so much more than words can express..😎
LOL..practice will get you there...I didn't show all my beginner flying geese
Fantastic thank you. I love the idea of using orphan blocks inside your geese and after all my years of quilting really never thought to make half square triangles with the waste while sewing geese! Thank you.
I am embarrassed at how small I make them...then use them in the back
I use them in boarders with 1.5 in strips on each side. Every time I try to throw them out I end up retrieving them from the garbage.
Maureen Smith Hahahaha ... I'm sort of a newbie to quilt piecing, but have been sewing for around 55 years. I'm like Karen - embarrassed at how small of a scrap I will keep if they are already right-sides-together and ready to sew. Then again, if I don't want to save some, they go into a container for use as pet bed stuffing.
Just Get it Done Quilts the after quilt is such a great idea. And "mini" geese make it that much more interesting.
My head is full; once again another video that teaches with clarity and purpose, Karen. I’m actively spruiking your advice and channel to everyone I know 😍.
Yes...there is a lot in this one...almost twice as long as usual. Thank you for your support
I am still learning how to quilt with you ❤
I knew there had to be an accurate way to do this efficiently without buying yet another ruler for one purpose. Thank you!😊
You are so smart....you have taught me so much..am 73 been quilting forever and the tips and ideas you have given me are amazing...thank you so much from a fellow Canuck...
I so look forward to your videos! You bring such joy to my day. I am 83 years old, love fabric, and just beginning to quilt so I am still in the scrap, strip, and not matching seams stage. Yet, I love watching your more advanced videos even though I likely will never be able to master the techniques and probably won’t even try. Being precise is not in my DNA! Still I watch many of your videos over and over to stir up my quilting juices.
I find I like to add one fussy cut block into every quilt. It attracts the attention and also tells which way is up
Made modern doesn't let you just order free copy #34, says the value has to be 1 or greater, oh well, congrats in them highlighting your accomplishments !! And loved your trick on where to place the directional fabric
Did you use the coupon code?
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts yes, and put in my credit card info
So sorry, I tried again and it worked!! probably not enough coffee first time
This is SO complicated, I need to put it into a book to refer to. It is so complicated that right now it feels like all the fun has gone out of quilting for me because I have to be so careful to not mess all of this up! But I know you are right! I just don't know if I will ever get all of this straight.
The first part is for beginners, the second for more experienced quilters. Don’t over step your skills as it just leads to UFO’s
As always Karen... marking this Watch later for an easy bookmark! Many, Many new ideas here for me. I struggle with FG for sure and it's always a crap shoot if they come out right or not. Thank you very much!
So glad to hear this can help
Valerie Bishop I had a good (albeit silent) chuckle when I read your comment about FGs coming out good being a crap shoot. Our state capitol grounds have a pond which a local population of Canada Geese call home year 'round. One has to be VE-E-E-R-R-Y careful when walking to and from the capitol building and over to the memorials built along the shore of the pond to avoid all the goose crap on the lawn and sidewalks. I may never sew another FG without thinking about this ;) .
I have avoided flying geese. Thank you so much for the video. I will be checking back here often. I wait for your videos to arrive. Thank you so much for sharing your talents.
It does get better with practice
Thank you so much for the math on how to size out the component squares!
Thank you so much for your videos. The knitting community has SO MANY tutorials and podcasts and getting into quilting without knowing any quilters has been rough. I was so pleased when I discovered your channel.
I feel like I just grew up! I’ve always been intimidated by stripes/directional fabrics because I didn’t know how to line them up properly. This really helped!
✋
Karen! I’m a novice quilter. Ever since I’ve started watching your videos, I’ve seen my quilt blocks getting so much better! Thank you so much 😊
Love to hear that 👍
How you get all the amount of knowledge you have into a video is truly amazing.
Thank you
As a new quilter I love watching and watching again as a référence as needed your videos ... you are great and thanks to you and your priceless advice like pressing method and masking tape hack and more, I made my first baby quilt (I upgrade the small project 😉) for a shower gift ☺️ and proud to say that lurn from you .... please accept all my gratitude...
congratulations 👏👏👏
Love your videos...ALL of them! I can't believe how much I DIDN"T know.
I don't know how I missed this one, but I really enjoyed it. Very informative.
I'm an older newby, and so grateful you're there. Thank you.
Great tips! Thank you!
Wow this is I’m speechless ! I’d give anything to have a teacher or I wished that I could afford classes ! I am dreaming to start quilting ! Bow this is a lot of info for me but I’m a newbie ! How ever this is extremely detail ! There are a lot of quilters on UA-cam but they don’t give this much detail advice and most of the time they only teach you the short cuts after buying specialty rulers which we all just can’t afford them all ! I’m excited to get started ! I’m probably going to start with a simple design but man have you given me so many ideas without having to have a special ruler ! Ty so much !
😎 that's my job
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts awe ! You are truly awesome !
cutting the tip ... was a light bulb moment .. I thought there was something wrong with my machine. Something that had me blocked for two weeks now has my project humming along
sometimes it's the little things
Me too, I love my machine but sometimes it eats more than I do, will use this tip now!
i agree! its a great tip!
I love that I have your videos in my life, Karen. Keep 'em coming, please.
Thanks for the great tips!
Just what I needed.
Karen I followed your four flying geese idea. It worked. Thank you so so much. Another block for my Farmers Wife quilt done and dusted. I’m up to 75 🌻
I’m astounded by all of the tips for the flying geese block. Karen you’ve outdone yourself. Mahalo nui loa!
Fantastic. Thank you!
You are a genius! I don't know where you find the hacks but it's exactly what I needed! Thank you for sharing your talents with us. 🥰
I just get frustrated doing repetitive tasks. 😊
I have a ufo quilt called 'star splitter'. I have 160 hst's to make. It is Made from made fabric. Ak fabric from tiny pieces of fabric. I promise to make my hst's very carefully.!
Thank you for sharing
Once again your video saved my bacon .... I need to make flying geese units the exact measurement in this video ... I could not remember the original dimensions needed and only cheat sheets I could find was for 4 at a time methods. This video worked perfectly.
Still watching this over and over - you’re amazing.
Thank you!!!
Oh, my! Love this video, so many lovely blocks! Thank you!
Love the trimming hack!
Thank you soooo much for doing these amazing tutorials!
I love your videos... thank you so much for doing them.
One of my favorite of your videos. So informative. Thank you
Thank you again for a brilliant tutorial Karen. Thank you for taking the time to share with us, when you have so much else to deal with. Keep safe.
Thanks for watching...and you too
Thank youuu!
This video is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for making it!
Karen, I can't thank you enough for sharing your wonderful videos. I have learned sooo much from you and it has made me love quilting even more. I am so much happier with my results. You are a great teacher! Thank you again. Marti Richards
Wonderful!...makes my day
Great video!!! I learned so much, thank you!
Wow.. very nice!
Wonderful tutorial. Design tips priceless! Thanks so much.
Thank you ❤
Thank you for ANOTHER wonderful tutorial! Your masking-tape-on-the-ruler hacks are genius... I always trim my HSTs with your hack, and they come out perfectly. :)
Wonderful!
Great tips!
Love your videos. Sooo helpful!
Always great information. Thank you.
Thanks!!!
Wow! Your video was filled with great tips and useful hacks. The section on symmetry was mind blowing. I’ve never seen that depth of instruction on sewing Flying Geese blocks from any other source. Many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am so intimidated with this block. I have 5 flying geese rulers! The hack you shared would have saved me money. Another issue is that I like to have a 3/8 at the top of my geese just to see the point from a distance. I do like the idea of sewing on the back too. Thank you, thank you!
I love the trimming hack!
I've been working on the Ugly Quilt pattern. Thank you so much for it! I have decided this is the year of the Ugly Christmas Quilt and getting rid of all of the Christmas prints I inherited, that I didn't know what to do with! 4 tops down and a bunch more to go!
I'm thinking about doing the same with my Christmas and Halloween prints
me too! almost finished with the top. I am a new quilter so I've never put one together before and don't know anything about what kind of batting to buy, random machine quilting (I've only had my machine since end of March), doing a border etc. I will let it sit til the quilt shop opens and watch lots of vids in the meantime until I'm brave enough to start.
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts almost done with my quilt top. this "ugly fabric" quilt was a great starter (lap size) quilt for me. I did the 4 across by 5 down. trial and error on my trimming. learning new things each week. your videos are so helpful. This little quilt is for my mom/her hubby for their camper. She likes pink flamingos lol and their camper is a bit retro. I can't imagine making a 'pretty' quilt with pink flamingos so your video about ugly fabric really fit the bill for me. I wish I could show you a photo of the quilt top - it really turned out terrific! Also, your picking fabric video for me was helpful in making this. thanks again for everything, Karen. Hope your son is doing well and responding!
Another video with great information. Thanks!
You simply awesome....thank you
Love the idea of sewing from the back to be more on point. Short to trim is an Awesome idea. Thanks. Great article in the Make Modern magazine. Congratulations on being a feature in it. :)
thank you
Thank you.
What a fab video tutorial! Thank you so much!
Your work is awesome! Thank you sooo much for sharing all this knowledge
😊
Knowing you have so much going on in your life Thank you for spending this time with us!
You are so welcome!
This is a MUST see video. I learned things I never learned from anyone else. Thank you - So easy to understand .
