I have a row of flying geese that goes around the quilt next to the boarders, I am doing FMQ, I was wondering how you would quilt them, any ideas would be helpful..... Thank you

i'd quilt something in the blank background to make the geese pop out. simple wavy lines would do the trick. but my fav is pebbles

I've seen some really cool quilting on triangles from Green Fairy and Charisma Horton. Check out their blogs. You might also do a search on Pinterest.

I usually quilt inside each goose, going from tip to tip to tip. But not in a straight line; using a slight swoop to go to each tip, moving to the next goose.

let me see if I can find a pic of mine-I did the straight lines by regular stitching with the least moving of the quilt and then did FMQing the wiggly lines on the next go around. it was just easier and looked good too.

The churn dash has curved lines like another quilter mentioned above. easy to do also.

I do not know if this is something that you would like, but I saw Flying Geese done with the triangles echoed. As I have not done very much free motion quilting, I can't tell if it would lend itself to that. I just thought it was so pretty.

Ahem - of course that was exactly what I was trying to accomplish! However did you figure it out? Blush!

I really like yours too!

Take a look at this quilt by my internet friend Kathy at Tamarack Shack, the curves in the quilt points are easy and look nice. - http://tamarackshack.blogspot.com/20...oon-quilt.html
