216 Flying Geese
 

I made this quilt for a couple that are moving away after many years of serving in our church. I was inspired by a Miss Rosie pattern in her book "Spice of Life". I drafted the church to fit the center block. Her pattern has a house. I'm calling this quilt "On our way to church". Those flying geese in the sashing circling the church inspired the name. Its a simple pattern except for those pesky flying geese.

I wanted to do some custom quilting, but found out they were leaving sooner than I thought. Made it in 10 days. I literally was stitching down my tag 5 minutes before I had to present it.

Love it and I am sure that they also will. Very thoughtful of you. BrendaK

Your quilt is beautiful. Very nice work.:) They will cherish this quilt.

very nicely done

That is so nice!

Beautifully pieced and quilted. I love your colours too, well done. You might say that you have well and truly "cooked your goose"��

A beautiful gift. Great work. Your quilting is wonderful.

What a beautiful remembrance you have given them. Truly made from the heart

Beautiful! And what a great name for the quilt.

I've gone down to the wire with a quilt deadline a time or two, but five minutes?? Wow, congrats and a beautiful job!!

very nice

I bet they were overwhelmed when you presented it. It is a wonderful quilt and your piecing is fantastic. And I think the quilting is perfect for it. Love the cross hatch behind the church and the swirls in the rest. It will be a beautiful reminder for them of their time at your congregation.

What a great gift.

It's beautiful!

What a beautiful gift!

Oh, it's gorgeous!!!

Beautiful quilt and a great going away gift! Everything about it is great - the pattern, fabrics, colors and quilting. They will cherish it forever and think of you often. Great job!

That is just beautiful. Were they totally blown away when you gave it to them?

What a marvelous remembrance for them.

That come out to be a lovely quilt. There is nothing more motivating then a deadline. I am sure they will treasure it always and remember the happy memories with your church.

very thoughtful quilt and love the quilting

I love your quilt! It has 3 of my most favorite blocks, nine patch, flying geese and house (of worship in this case) The colors and quilting are lovely too. I'm sure it will be a treasured reminder of their church. What a wonderful gift and memento you have made for them!

Oh this is beautiful. I love your quilt and know that they will think of you with great fondness every time they look at this quilt.

What a treasure.

like all the colors, what a nice remembrance quilt.

Very very pretty.

Such a special quilt. I love the heart on the church with the cross in the heart. Beautifully done!

Beautiful job, especially given the time constraints you faced... I'm sure it will be a keepsake and warm memory of their experience in your church and community. Simply beautiful quilt.

Beautiful.

What a lovely quilt. Good use of blending scraps and the church in the center is perfect for the occasion. Lovely and thoughtful work.

Beautiful work. Love the 'church' center block.

What a thoughtful gift. I am sure they will love it. I love your fabrics.

What a beautiful gift for a couple in your church community. They will cherish the quilt and the thoughtfulness. Love how you changed the house into a church and highlighted it with cross hatching. How did you manage to make the entire thing and quilt it in 10 days? WOW

Wonderful quilt and a lovely keepsake. Those who have served so well will always br reminded of someone who loved them enough to do something very special for them as they move on to another place in life. It will make the going away so much easier because you cared!
