This quilt is my latest to be published in Australian Patchwork & Quilting magazine (Vol 22 No 3; out now). I had the idea in my head, but it turned out much easier to design and to piece than I'd expected. Well, apart from the fact that when you look at the quilt, you really only see the coloured triangles, and don't quite realise how quickly the background ones add up; there were exactly 1000 pieces in the quilt top! It's made by alternating two flying geese-based blocks (hence the name) which flow into each other. Although I designed the blocks myself and named them, I expect they're not completely original - it's a simple enough variation on flying geese. Gander block Gosling block I really like the way the two blocks work together to create continuous movement and new patterns. I chose to quilt this simply with an open, freehand meandering feather. As well as being quick and fun to quilt, it's very flexible - allowing me to quilt around any intersections where there were lots of layers of seams. I also really like the way it looks. Full instructions can be found from page 74. I'd love to see if you have a go at making your own version of this quilt!
