Flying Geese Made Easy

I've not yet tried the Flying Geese block - it has always looked intimidating to me! But, not anymore! Thanks to this great tutorial from Sarah Fielke on The Last Piece blog. Check it out then share your finished blocks and quilts on the Quiltivate.com Flying Geese block page!

Finish That Quilt - Binding Tutorial

Here's another fantastic tutorial from Kathy Mack of the Pink Chalk Studio blog. This time she covers binding. Although I didn't know it was called double-fold French binding, this is essentially what I attempt to do on my quilts. These tips will help me bind my next quilt with much cleaner seams and corners next time. Thanks again, Kathy!
