I love mini quilts, but I really prefer bed size quilts, as does my hubby. So I looked at 2 patterns I wanted to do. Both were in quiltmaker magazine and both were ones I wanted to do. I have decided to combine the two.
One was Sew Many Geese and the other was Garden Geese.
I got all my pieces for the geese cut, and started putting them together and I realized that I cut them wrong. I had mixed up my pieces. Oh well. It happens and thank goodness I see Canadian geese a lot, so they are Canadian geese as they are white.
I love to go outside and watch the geese flying over.
Because of time restraints I made the throw pillow first.
With all of my quilts, depending on size, I want to do a throw pillow, pillow shams and a quilt.
I do have pieces cut for the quilt, and I will share that as soon as it is done. So, what I will be doing on the quilt, is long rows of geese, and on my sashing strips, I will do the flowers.

One day, I will make both of these quilts, but for now I will combine the 2.

ReplyDeleteLove your flying geese. Flying geese and I do not get along. Just tried Eleanor Burns' method and think I've finally hit on a way to get them made right. Thanks for sharing. Hope I get to see your finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy! Your pillow has a great color palette. Your quilt can't help but be gorgeous since you're using the same fabrics. I look forward to seeing it finished. Happy Monday to you. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteYour pillow is lovely, flying geese projects are always visually appealing.
ReplyDeleteIt's so frustrating to be in bed not feeling well when there is so much sewing to do. Glad you're feeling better! Sometimes mistakes turn out to be treasures and I think that's what your flying geese quilt will be. The pillow is beautiful with the white reversed with the patterned print! Thank you for blogging with us. :O)

I have mixed up colors before in a pineapple quilt, so I can relate to that. But those geese can be any color at all and white geese are perfectly fine. Your pillow is great.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure we all can relate to this post. Your pillow is wonderful so your misstep was meant to be.
