Hello Brushandthimble - thanks for your lovely comment - I did 4 geese across the top of quilt and down to 3, 2, and so on until I split the singles to the bottom and kept the single in the triangular geese to the left of quilt, hence 12 geese in total - I do love birds and flowers, you might recall that I did the Sunflower quilt from the same book, which I did buy online from Alibris.com; I also did the Chilli tablecloth from her book!! There are so many beautiful quilts in this particular book - I bought one book which said 'more' quick rotary cutter quilts, then bought the first book thinking it would be different, but it covered all in the first book which I then gave to my daughter - I don't remember if or not the geese were in the 'more' book!!
