I recently put together a collection of fabrics to mimic the pattern of my bathroom quilt. Bathroom quilt - you ask? Yes. I decorated my bathroom around this flying geese quilt a number of years ago. With 70's green sink, shower and toilet you have to do something! (Never a problem with mold or mildew for all who might ask.) I absolutely LOVE making flying geese. I use the 1 big square and 4 small square method and it never ever fails me.

So I cut merrily away. And then realized that I had switched the dark pieces for light pieces and light for dark. Oh boy! Now what am I gonna do? I had to come up with a new pattern - and I'm so glad I did. I like it! Do you?
