Giant Flying Geese Quilt

88 x 96

This quilt is made from giant flying geese blocks. You can find the directions here and another example here. I added a few more blocks and got rid of the border. The blocks are mostly set in groups of 2 geese with an occasional single one here or there to make the row long enough.


The flying geese blocks finish at 16.5 by 8.5 and I didn't have a ruler large enough to trim them easily. Other than that, it was a fast and easy finish.


I had been looking for a extra wide back for a while online, but while I was in Joann's one day I saw a new flannel extra wide backing. It was white with black and looked perfect for my quilt. Plus it will make this quilt extra soft and warm.

    Great quilt! I love how your wings are different fabrics on a lot of the geese. Your backing is perfect!

    Oh, do I love this quilt and all of its scrappiness. I have the Maker bundle and was planning on using it for another quilt but your pattern is very tempting since I have a die I could use. Thanks for sharing.
