Mini Flying Geese Foundation Paper Piecing Pattern
"I had a whole bunch of small triangle shaped offcuts from a big quilt project so I made up this mini flying geese foundation paper piecing template so I could use my scraps to make these mini flying geese! The block measures 1.5" x 3" and you can combine multiples of them to make a bigger block or re-size the pattern template to make it bigger depending on the size of your scraps. (Just remember the 1/4" seam is already marked for the original pattern size but you'll need to add it on if you scale the pattern larger - measure from the inner line in that case!)"
