This link mentioned below is where I got my inspiration, but I made a few adjustments to make the blocks a bit bigger; my 'flying geese' 'trees' are 3.5 X 6.5 ea. and the strips are 3.5 X 12.5 each; my blocks finished at 12.5 inch each. I used the Lazy Girl Flying Geese Ruler to make these geese, love this ruler, makes 4 perfect flying geese at a time, you can crank them out in a hurry. It is one of my favorite tools. I added several borders,1) a 2.5 inch white border, 2) 4.5 inch red border, 3) a 'flying geese' border made the size as the flying geese in the blocks, 4) then finished with a 6.5 in dark green border...it is big! Thanks for all the compliments! Keeps me motivated!

The above link as the original pattern, I modified mine a bit to make 12.5 inch blocks, but this was my inspirations, used the Lazy Girl Flying Geese Ruler, one of my favorite tools. Added several borders, 1( a 2.5 inch white border, 2) 4.5 inch red border, 3) one made of flying geese the same size as in the blocks, 4) and a final border 6.5 inches in dark green. Thanks for the compliments!

YOur quilt is beautiful and thanks for the link and the information how you modified it. Love it! I have lots of Christmas fabrics and also have been collecting fall colors for a quilt - this might be the pattern I use for that one too.

I have a cabin in the woods if you want to share!! It's absolutely beautiful. I love everything about it--the traditional colors of red and green are so pretty. Did you have a pattern or did you do on your own thing. If it is a pattern would you share the name?

QuiltingKathie 09-11-2012 09:22 AM

A very nice quilt, cozy looking.

If you read thru the thread you will see that a link to the pattern has been shared in more than one post. Good Luck! :D

I love scrappy and I love your quilt. The white sets off your red and green perfectly. Super job.

It is gorgeous. You can close your eyes and pretend that you are in your log cabin, it is toasty warm with a fire in the fireplace and snow is softly falling. Now wake up, you are in Texas. LOL Thanks for sharing.
