this is one from years ago. Many pictures were fading & I just put them on computer the other night.

Here is a (poor) pic of a quilt the sample-maker did for my shop years ago. She was a fairly new quilter, learning from me as she went, and if you notice the tips of the points, you can see that she failed to check with me before sending into the longarmer's room!!

Still, we wrote a pattern for it and sold many kits from this sample. She made the geese the same way you would any snowballed rectangle, but the rectangle was made of strips. The actual colors of the Fossil Fern fabrics are more vibrant than the old photo shows.

When I closed the shop and sold many of the quilts, this is one I refused $800 for and kept for myself. It hangs on the wall behind my bed.

This is one with just a few geese, I love making them too! Wish I had a pic of the table topper I gave my daughter! It has 184 geese units on diagonal, took me months to make, but its very cute! It's a fall one.

Believe it or not.... I've never made flying geese before.

Thank you for your links.

I've never tried the method in the second one before and the tutorial has definitely got me wanting to give it a go. For my next quilt, this is the one I'll be looking at.

I'm making a flying geese quilt from all my fabric and scraps that have some blue in them (finished the geese, will take a photo and try to upload) and I did seem to waste so much fabric... Little bits here and there, but it was adding up to a bit of a pile.

Again, thank you.

OMG!! Absolutely love this! :D

I have only had one go at the easy mariners compass, but the combination with flying geese looks stunning.

Wow, LisaR! That's a perfect border for your Mariner's Compass... just added that to my list of WHIMMs (Work Hidden In My Mind)
