Flying Geese quilt block

Rows of triangles pointing the same way, like geese flying in formation. Each “goose” is a rectangle twice as wide as it is tall.

How it’s built

Each unit has one large goose triangle and two smaller sky triangles.

Here, two columns of four geese fill a 4 × 4 grid: 8 geese and 16 sky triangles.

Sewing tips

  • The “stitch and flip” method (one rectangle, two squares) is the simplest; the “four at a time” method wastes less fabric.
  • Sew with the goose on top so you can see the point and keep ¼ in of fabric above it.
