Flying south for the winter

(light spot is from a sunny fall day)

I decided to put the Accuquilt Go cutter to good use

and started cutting flying geese out of solids.

The beauty of using solids is that I don't need to worry

about right sides and wrong sides

or left and right triangles.

I nearly wore out a cutting mat cutting parts for 200 or so flying geese.

This will become a full-sized quilt for DS2.

I like how the dog ears are already trimmed

and if I have an accurate 1/4 inch seam

the flying geese units are ready to go without trimming.

My system with the Go cutter is to cut the big pieces first

and then keep cutting smaller and smaller shapes.

These blue and green squares were left from cutting the flying geese.

The blocks are for a group quilt for a local charity.
