Flying Geese Size Chart: No-Waste and Stitch-and-Flip Cut Sizes
Quick answer
For no-waste flying geese, cut one large square 1 1/4 inches bigger than the finished width and four small squares 7/8 inch bigger than the finished height. That makes four geese. A 2 x 4 inch goose uses a 5 1/4 inch square and four 2 7/8 inch squares.
