Love your quilt! I can't think of a name at the moment though.

Look at the movement in this quilt, and your color choices are great!

Love the quilt and the pattern. Have a hard time naming my own quilts so no help there.

"Ready for Take-Off" or "Star Flight"

"Calgary Stampede"? ie sort of a pun on running to get there as well as the other?

It's a very nice design.I noticed the negative spaces first.Your choice of colours is excellent.

I'm trying to come up with a name about love, marriage commitment, together, future dreams or anything that sounds good. If you have an idea please feel free to post it.
The pattern is from Prairie sky quilting, triple expresso-shake, rattle and roll. I think the one I did is called shake. And it's done in all batiks.
I hope this worked...

The minute I saw this beautiful quilt I thought of the Echo Trail up in Northern Minnesota (up by Ely). The Flying Geese representing the Canadian Geese that are prevalent in Minnesota, the lavenders and blues and maroons that remind me of our sunrises and sunsets, the white that reminds me of the winding roads of the Echo Trail, the greens of the pines and trees and ground cover, the blue of the lakes and the skies. The Echo Trail is a beautiful trip (all of 58 miles) and my husband and I have gone through it many many times. We have seen elk, deer, small critters, bears, picked raspberries, blueberries (there again the colors fit in). And of course, Le Toile du Nord - Star of the North. So if I ever did a quilt like this with the gorgeous colors you have chosen, I would name it "Echo Trail".

Goose Star Constellation

It doesn't have the love connections. It is an old native American legend about 7 boys who turned into geese and flew north to become stars (what we call the big dipper).

It isn't very romantic.

I like Forever Fly with Me, but would change it to Fly with me Forever. I also thought of "Birds of a Feather, Stick Together" Beautiful quilt, lucky recipients.
