Piecing Technique: Half Square Triangles and Flying Geese


Discover the versatility behind some of quilting’s most essential designs. In this class, you’ll explore Half Square Triangles and Flying Geese—two foundational blocks that open the door to endless creative possibilities. From bold, modern layouts to classic, timeless patterns, these shapes are key to building eye-catching quilts.

With clear, step-by-step guidance, you’ll learn multiple methods for creating these units—whether you need just a few or many at a time—so you can choose the approach that best fits your pattern. Along the way, you’ll build confidence in achieving crisp points, smooth angles, and beautifully balanced designs, empowering you to piece with precision and bring your quilt ideas to life.
