ta dah!
Using Moda fabrics - “fall back in time” maybe? I had to adjust the pattern from Denyse Schmidt’s book Quilts because I tried to make it bigger and ended up making it really wide and short. I added the two rows of bigger triangles on the top and bottom and it came out okay. It’s about “nap” size - bigger than lap, smaller than twin, but big enough to take a nap under.
I attempted hand quilting on some of the triangles, but wasn’t crazy about the quality of my stitches (or the time and effort involved.) I did improve, and will try again. On a MUCH smaller project, first.
Anyway, one quilt done :)
Amazing quilt - I love the vintage colors and the the flying geese pattern is perfect for showing off the various fabrics and you sense of color balance.
Very jealous.
This came out great! Your color choices are very nice. I’ve been fixin to make one a flying geese soon myself.
