Yet another quilt top from my stash... I had two yards of all of these and very little left of any of them... I have the binding already cut from the lavender... the top is 78x78
When I make the flying geese units I use the 'square' method (cut squares, sew corner to corner on the diagonal) and then make another seam before cutting off the excess - then wind up with a nice stack of half-square triangle squares already done!

It's kind of nice to dig through the stash and find stuff I had set aside for a quilt and finally getting around to getting some of them done!
Maybe my moratorium on buying any more fabric will last more than just one year!

Pretty quilt and thanks for the idea about sewing another seam before cutting the geese apart!

Nice color.

wvdek 01-17-2010 05:46 PM

Very nice and colorful. Already for spring with your quilt.

janRN 01-17-2010 07:23 PM

Wow-I love your quilt. The colors are beautiful.
Thanks for the tip about sewing the extra seam. I always end up with baggies full of the small triangles that I plan to get around to someday--this really makes sense. Thank you!

MollieSue 01-17-2010 07:29 PM

That is really pretty!!! :):)

I'm trying to see how you put that together - what are the blocks in that? When I do it mentally I come up with 2 different sized blocks (which then would be attached in rows)...

JJs 01-17-2010 07:53 PM

single squares, flying geese, 4 square block, large block..
done in single row, double row, single row...
figgered it out in EQ!!
only I don't know how to do 'elements' (flying geese) in EQ - or even if you can, so used a rectangle, then printed out the outline and made flying geese by hand on the page then used my colored pencils - sheesh...
I'd like to think there's a way to do that in EQ but it was easier for me to just do it that way than try to find an elusive way to do something.... LOL

MaryStoaks 01-17-2010 07:55 PM

Very Pretty! I love the idea of using up the stash too.

Wine Woman 01-17-2010 08:01 PM

Really nice! I really like the pink flowered fabric. Sometimes going through our stash is like visiting the fabric store all over again.

Honey 01-17-2010 11:38 PM

WOW! I love the colors!

Katrine 01-18-2010 12:42 AM

I love your quilt, and that you designed it in EQ. I took the liberty of putting the design in EQ6 with the flying geese. I hope this saves on the use of colored pencils next time. LOL

oops, didn't get the project loaded right. will try again.

JJs 01-18-2010 01:33 PM

aha - thanks!

JJs 01-18-2010 01:54 PM

ok, I wanna know how you got just one 'flying geese' ... I've looked through every single stupid block and can't find it...
I did figure out how to do THAT one (just rotate it how you want it to go) but where is it in EQ??????????????????????

Debra Mc 01-18-2010 06:05 PM

Beautiful. I love hot pinks & purples.

Stitchnripper 01-18-2010 06:10 PM

I just drew the block. I didn't look for it in the library.
