Re: Drafting curved flying geese

Further to what Kathyl said: if you draw your 'inner' curve with a known radius and centre point, then mark points along it at regular intervals, or however you want it, joining the centre point to each of those marks and extending your line to meet the outer curve will give you geese that are all at 'right angles' to the curves.
You might want to do it completely randomly, though?

I was entranced the first time I saw one of these, and they have never lost their appeal. Gorgeous things!

Hello all

As if I don't have enough UFO's and other things to keep me busy, my mind is
planning other ideas. Part of it is that I did some more paper piecing over
spring break, fairly successful, and that brought to mind some of this
curved flying geese that I have seen. I have googled until my eyes are
crossed and apparently I am not using the right words. So...

Does anyone know of a link that has the how-to's to draft these lovely
creations? I would like to see what is involved and if I want to try my
hand at it some day.

Yes, I am working on getting some pictures organized and will really try to
post this weekend so you can all see. This weekend is hopefully time to get
lots of little things done and off the list but it will have to all happen
on Saturday as on Sunday the boys will be coming over for dinner and to do
their taxes on my computer. It will be good to see them though.

Thanks
