My template tool for this square arrived and I’m finally ready to start. I’ve decided to follow along doing the blocks in the same order as Eleanor Burn’s video series and I will be using her color scheme for the quilt. Her first video covers the 1941 Nine Patch. The instructions in the book are also excellent and Eleanor also provides instructions for the flying geese using a regular template (vs. her specialized flying geese ruler). I wanted to try out her technique and have to say it’s excellent. Her procedure creates 4 flying geese star points at the same time and they come out perfect. Here’s my first square.
