    Default flying Home

    Yesterday or the day before someone posted a request for color ideas on this quilt. Our guild used it as an opportunity quilt in 2006. Since I don't see the original posting, I am doing this here. The actual colors were brighter and more into the red range.

    Your quilt is wonderful. My folks would have loved it too. They lived on a small lake in WA state and loved when the geese passed through.

    A beautiful tribute to Pam Bono, often in my thoughts; doesn't seem that long ago since I made mine but time flies just like birds!

    This project, more than any other convinced many of my guild sisters of the need for precision. (and the need to buy a little extra, just in case.) The quilt was almost completed when our wonderful, dynamic, leader died suddenly. It was found about 3 years later and completed.

    Your quilt is so well done! I just can't imagine having to watch out for so many points. It's a beautiful quilt. Your leader would have been proud.

    I am the person who asked for people to post their "Flying Home" quilts, so I thank you so much for doing this.

    I was reading the directions in the book yesterday and thought how far we have come in the quilting world. I didn't look at the publish date, but this must have been published in the 70's or 80's. It's amazing how differently we do blocks now. It will be fine to re-plan the pattern so make things the "new" way.

    One question, though...do you thing these geese could be done using the paper piecing method?
