Many Happy Returns quilt (UFO no longer)
 
3 Attachment(s)
I started this quilt in 2012. Obviously, it has languished for quite some time. I didn't have a pattern. I just figured it out from a picture I saw somewhere and is comprised of a square of focus fabric alternating with flying geese blocks. My name for it is "Many Happy Returns", and it will be used at the lake on the hide-a-bed. It is 66"x84" which is more a twin size, but I didn't want a lot of overhang for the hide-a-bed. The focus fabric is Terrain by Kate Spain for Moda. I used practically every scrap of fabric on front, back, and coordinating pillowcases. I did some fairly simple straight outline stitching as well as using one of my machine's decorative stitches.

Great use of your decorative stitch!!! Beautiful quilt and matching pillow cases!!!

That is a nice quilt. Adding the pillowcases is extra special, as is the use of the decorative stitching. I never would have thought about this design with flying geese; I would have gone with half square triangles. Nice to learn something new!

It's beautiful! I love the focus fabric. The hot pink really looks good as the solid for that pattern. Lovely pillow cases too.
