That is made with the Wild Flying Geese block, also known as the Rambler block. You can find the free block on the internet. This one: http://www.quilterscache.com/W/WildGooseChaseBlock.html, https://www.freequilt.com/rambler-quilt.html, https://nancycabotsewalong.blogspot....ilt-block.html There are others but you have to do a search. Good Luck

Jerseyrayne, Sorry, but that isn't quite the same. It's very similar and solves all the problems about planning the layout and quantities of fabric to use. Personally, I like the Quilter's Cache Wild Goose Chase better than the Keepsake one with the side bars next to each goose strip. So thanks for posting it!

Here's the block I did up with the fabric collection I have. I made it as an 8" center square instead of the 12" as shown. It takes one 2.5" WoF per block to make both the geese and the bars as I did here. I folded the squares to make more of the block shape, but I would use alternate squares.

forgot this part: I made the geese by the method of taking a rectangle (in my case 2.5 x 4.5) for the geese, and two squares (2.5) for the sides, draw on the diagonal of the square and cut off the excess. I did chop off one of my points. What can I say, it happens and I was tired!

The fabrics aren't working so well on this scale, they'd do better in the 12". They all have cherries in them, you don't really get to see them in the setting triangles around the geese. The large scale cherry print is directional so I have to be aware of that. The real constraint is that I don't have enough of the red pin dot to make the 24 blocks I would want to make -- but I have other red dots and am thinking about "why not" and add a bit of scrappy to a planned quilt. Or maybe just wait for another project for these fabrics

Edit: as I look at the picture, I'm thinking maybe replace the side bars with white? that would probably make a really nice secondary pattern like in the original and leave me with enough red...

Judith, I found an online chart that gives you all the dimensions of the insets for on point. If you Google It I’m sure it will come up. I’ve used it for years and it always works.

Iceblossom is right. It's not set on point (if you click on the link then hover over the picture, individual blocks show up clearly, 4 (huge) blocks across, 1 plain inner border and one pieced outer border.

Blocks/pieces are so large, it shouldn't really be difficult at all to follow Iceblossom's pattern. Hope you will show us what you come up with!

I like that idea. Then you could use the red for the narrow inner border.

can do this quilt without a pattern. Really you can.
1. It's basically a Warm Wishes Pattern, set On Point.

2. The Center row on the rail would be your Flying Geese. (I'd make them first and cut the rest to match whatever size you make them) Or follow this pattern replacing the center row of the rail with the flying geese.

Well, test block 3 will be made tonight or tomorrow (block 1 was a dud and not shown). Had to go out and get some spray baste and found a great piece of white with tiny red dot fabric and it was on sale even. The scatter is much larger than any of the other dots but the dot size is about the same and it is the right shade of red or close enough. I think I will be very happy with the results, especially when I make 4 blocks. If I'm not happy I'll stop the project at that point and still have enough of most of them to do something else.

It's in the washer now, and the top is spray basted. It's a good day!

I'm going ahead an making this as my next project. I have other things going on but in a day or two I'll post a picture.

I think proper attribution is a big topic of discussion and so I think I will continue to post my progress in here. Although I definitely was inspired by drafting out that pattern, I'm very comfortable with this being "my" quilt. I'm changing the triangles to squares. I'm using very different fabrics/colors. I've changed the scale from a center of 12" to 8". I've changed the layout from a square to a rectangle.

I think if you showed the original next to mine, only maybe 5-10 people out of 100 would see instantly that they were the "same" and that would mostly be if I used the same border treatment with the pieced units in the corners that really makes this top sparkle to me.

And then there are the construction techniques to consider. In addition to making it with alternate squares because of the large scale of the cherry print, I'm making the geese units by the rectangle/two squares method. Other people make four at a time or use rulers or other ways to do it. I measured and cut out the red pin dot today, I had just enough to make all 24 blocks I want, plus 4 extra to use in the border, so I can at least do two corners in the border. Had about a 1" strip left! But I think I have another piece of this exact shade in my 6.5" strip box.

Edit: Lately I've been thinking in terms of tag lines or t-shirt slogans. Here's one that applies: The quit we make depends on the fabric we have!

That is a beautiful quilt and it looks easy enough to draw out - or - you could contact Wilmington fabrics directly and they may sell you the pattern. Just read the other comments and I think you have good help with this pattern. Good luck and that is going to be a beautiful quilt.
