Chicopee Square...a quilt for my niece
 

A lot of points were sacrificed in the making of this quilt...lol. It's a pattern called Chicopee Square. It calls for a faster way of making flying geese. I must not have measured 1/4" correctly or maybe cut them wrong. But, I ended up with some that had the appropriate 1/4" above the point & a lot that didn't. That made piecing it not much fun. Although, I do think it came out pretty. My niece Ashley doesn't know anything about quilting, so she probably won't notice (fingers crossed).

I love this! The colors are bright and cheery and the black and white checkered is what makes this quilt super cute in my book!

Perfection is highly over rated! Love this quilt....the swirls in the white are great and adds lots of movement! It looks perfect to me! When my points don't come out pointy.....I call it a "Safety Quilt". No sharp points....lol

you made me laugh...
I guess it was like making headless geese..

I like it

I imagine we have all missed points in our past, some in quilting and some in other areas.

I really like this a lot!! Your niece will love it!!!

I love everything about your quilt. If points were sacrificed I didn't notice them. Beautiful.

love the bk/wh checks

I think your quilt is beautiful. Points are overrated in my opinion. Although I think your points are great. I'm making a mini periwinkle and lots of matching seams that aren't happening. I decided to let them hit and miss after I took one part out so many times it left a hole in the fabric which was fun to replace.

Your fabric choices are great!

What a pretty pattern and love it with the fabrics you've chosen!

Love your quilt and the pattern.
Flying geese are not a problem with Eleanor Burns method and rulers. Worth the money and saved some by using coupons at Joanns.

Darling quilt. The quilting really looks great on it.

I do agree with you & I have her flying geese ruler. I was following the pattern and would have started over using the ruler, but had cut the fabric. I didn't have enough of the white fabric to do so. I also love The Quilt in a Day scallop ruler, too.

Love this quilt. Where did you find the pattern, this would be great for scraps and donation quilts. :)

This is gorgeous! Everything pops!

Love this! And I am sure you are right in that she won't notice a few missing points, she will love it and that is what it is all about. Love your quilting, too! It really high-lights the pattern.

It's in the Apr/May 2013 issue of Quilt Magazine. It's great for scraps. Almost all of the colored squares were scraps from a quilt that I posted a few weeks ago on the board called Imperial Diamonds.

looks fine as is. I think we all sacrifice points in our quest of quilt making.

I love it! Perfect points are pointless anyway, right? :DAt least that is what I tell myself when they don't work out.

Very pretty quilt - I'm sure she'll love it!

Over all looks beautiful to me. When points are involved it is best to sometimes cut bigger pieces and trim to keep the points. I'm sure the recipient won't care about points with your great color selection.

I've been LOL over the comments you funny quilters have made. I agree with Sandra B that the black and white checkerboard is super cute, and with the rest of you that there's no point in worrying about points.

I completely agree. I would luv to have this quilt for myself. Colors and pattern are great.

Wonderful color selection in the quilt. From my perspective it is perfect. ...

Perfection is overrated and I think this is adorable. Bet she will too!

I love your quilt and I have never seen this block before. I don't worry if my quilts aren't perfect, nobody else's are either. LOL Very nice and I love the colour scheme. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful!! Love the colors and the pattern. The black gingham makes this extra wonderful!

Sew cute! I don't think I have ever seen that pattern before. I really, really like it.

You're quilt is lovely. I do t see any missing points. I love the fabrics you picked.
