    Default Looking for a block pattern

    Can anyone share with me where I might find Eleanor Burn's flying geese peony pattern? It was featured on Simply Quilts many years back with free instructions but all I am able to see is the video. I want to make this block as the center medallion for a quilt I am designing. TIA for any info.

    You could probably write to Quilt In A Day and ask them. They are super nice people and very helpful.

    it's always helpful to provide a link to what you want so it can jog folks' minds. i found this Eleanor Burn's flying geese peony pattern video and realized that the instructions and blocks are in her book Egg Money Quilts.

    You can usually find quilting books on eBay for a lot less than in the stores. If you belong to a guild, check to see if they have a copy of this book that you can check out.

    Thanks for the replies. Nancy, I did see that that block is in her Egg Money book; I did not want to buy the book for just one block. I think I can write down the instructions from the video.

    Hey try the library! They let you check it out for a couple three weeks. Plenty of time to make the top.

    I have always been happy with the much-reduced price of new and nearly-new books from the site (part of ebay): half.com

    Usually, the $3.99 shipping is far in excess of the cost of the book.
