This ia a queen sized quilt made for my son. It took me forever and I quilted it myself. Never again!!!!!!!!!!!!
My arms were so sore. I quilted in the ditch on the top and crosshatched the borders. Love the pattern and plan to make pinwheel lap quilt with the scraps.

Beautiful!

LOL... I here you I am machine quilting cross hatch right now...just took a break my shoulders are getting sore right where the shoulders meet at the neck...I need to relax when I am quilting..

Your quilt is beautiful, sure it will be loved for long time...

It's beautiful! And such a perfect name! LOL

It's beautiful!!!
My shoulders get sore too. You have to remember to not wear them as earring!!! Relax your shoulders, stretch up to your ears and then down low and try to leave them low. That's what my Massage Therapist tells me!!

Just beautiful. Your son is lucky to get such a wonderful quilt. Hope your shoulders are better now it's done.

Very Nice!!

Very pretty!

Very Pretty! Great for your son!

'tis a beauty :thumbup: :thumbup:

bopeep

Oh, I really like that pattern! I don't think I've seen anything like it before. Nice job!

That is so pretty. You did a great job.

Very pretty!

I am glad this is not just because I am new to this! LOL... I thought a cross hatch would be easy for my quilt for kids, I had to take a few days to rest because my arms were getting sooo sore!

And your quilt is beautifull btw!

That is just awesome - lucky son. And now admit it - it was worth every sore muscle!!! :wink:

I like flying geese quilts and this one is really nice. I like the dark green border. Great job. What method did you use for doing the FG?

Wow!! That is great. You did a wonderful job. Let's see him enjoying it.

Great pattern would be good to use scraps. mind sharing the pattern?

It's very nice. He's sure to love it. :thumbup:

Thanks to all of you for your compliments. You're all so sweet.
Many mistakes and had to add more borders to get to queen size. (Will never quilt one that big again!)
This pattern came out of a book called "Cutting Corners" by JoAnn Hanson. She calls the method Stitch and Trim which leave many small triangles that she also has patterns to use up scraps. You cut the squares, then mark and sew on the diagonal and trim. Some who took the class used the Eleanore Burns method. I haven't tried this yet but do have the ruler to do it. lol One gal did hers in all dots! What fun!

This is a beautiful quilt! Great job you did. Thank You for sharing.

Love your manly looking quilt! Your son will cherish it forever.

It is gorgeous. I bet that the pictures don't do it justice.

I have to make 2 corrections on my last post.
To do the flying geese, cut 2 squares and attach to each side of a rectangle. Mark a diagonal and sew each square. Trim away other half of the square (a triangle).
The authors name is Joan Hanson.
I should have taken pics on a ladder, looking down on the quilt and would have a better shot. Or a few people and much room to hold it up while taking the pics.

It's beautiful.

I love it :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Everything appeals to me- the pattern, the layout, the colours. This is something I would love on my own bed. Lovely!

Fabulous! It's an heirloom for sure! Great fabrics & colors and love the designs!
Kind Regards,

Thank you to all of you for your compliments. I still consider each quilt I make to be a beginner.
