I found a neat pic on the web and got the idea for the center of this quilt. I had been wanting to make a black and white quilt and here it is!
It is about 55" x 55". Not quilted yet. I cannot decide what color thread to use!
this is the first pic I share on this site!

Several months ago I saw a block with the geese done in a circle. I could not find the pattern online so I looked at it and divided into 4 blocks and drew them the best I could. I had never paper pieced but I figured there is a first time for everything. Once I made the middle block of the circle of geese I could not get it out of my head. I woke up around 3 am one morning with this idea that I wanted the geese to go in different directions for each round. Ever wake up with an idea you just have to act on? This is what I came up with. I have a special flying geese ruler I bought years ago. It took a while to make all the little geese but I am happy with the way it turned out.
