Hi:

Someone on this board posted a picture a few weeks ago of a quilt they made a from the Pam Bono book "Big Book of Rotary Cutter Quilts". The quilt in the book is called FLYING HOME.

I just searched the site and see one quilt done by a member, but it isn't the quilt posted a few weeks ago. Maybe the quilt maker named it something else?

Anyway, could someone post a link to help me find that quilt picture, please? The colors in it did not have a blue background, they were more creams with autumn-like colors in it.

I purchased the book used on Amazon after that posting and wanted to see that picture on this site again.

As a side note for the maker of that quilt, kudos to you for making it! I thought the geese would be paper pieced, but the directions are not like that at all. Templates and such make my head ache. I think I might spend some time trying to figure out a more "modern" (and easier for me) way of doing those geese. Any suggestions you could give to assist me in POSSIBLY doing it Pam's way would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, everyone!

Suzanne

Okay, you asked about flying geese.....I think this is pretty cool but not sure it would work for what you are doing. Fun to watch, though.

You are talking about the blocks with the geese (animals) right? not the blocks we know as flying geese. :D:D:D

Pam Bono has this quilt on her facebook page a few days ago. She is giving free anglers to new members.

I have that book and I am slowing making the same quilt. In this book she just uses the traditional way of sewing 3x3 corners to a rectangle 3x5&1/2 base.

I sometimes use the larger square base 1&1/4 times with the (4) small squares cut 7/8 larger than the needed size.

hers for the pattern are (4) 3x3 and (1) 3x5&1/2 so it would be a large square (1) 6&3/4 and (4) 3&7/8 x 3&7/8.

I always have to trim the quick method more so I just go with the traditional square on each corners.

Cutting out the 616 squares 3x3 has been fun lol!!!!!

I remember the posting you are referring to and I bookmarked the page in her book after seeing it, but I can't find it either, if I do I'll post it.
