    The numbers aren't divisible for flying geese, but who said all geese have to be the same size? Make 1 large goose followed by 2 small geese and or add a spacer fabric (like a 1 inch piano key) between some geese. This will appear more whimsical if they are different and oddly spaced.

    I agree that adding orange would look good. Lime green and purple is one of my fav color combos and I often add orange.

    This looks like fun! I think I would surround it with pinwheels. You could incorporate lots of different colors into it with pinwheels, & it would keep that bias design going. =} You could spin them either way....or both ways.
