Anniversary Quilts By: PamelaQuilts, Oregon, USA
I wanted to make my parents a bright and fun batik quilt for their 50th wedding anniversary. I loved this pattern with all the flying geese and was able to make most of the top from my stash. Choosing the borders was the hardest part, I auditioned many fabrics before choosing these.

Birds of a Feather By: Janet Archibald, British Columbia, Canada
I made this quilt when I was participating in an online swap – Doll Quilt Swap#9. The inspiration hit me as I was viewing my partner’s favourites, so a quick sketch ensued and then I raw edge appliqued the geese and then free motion quilted it. I think it was pretty well received!

Come Fly With Me Bag By: Come Fly With Me Bag, Wisconsin, USA
I based my flying geese quilted bag on the art work of graphic artist MC Escher. Found two pieces of artwork on Google Images, decided I could place triangles in a similar pattern to create a cool design on the front of the bag and repeated the V on the back of the bag – upside down.

Flying For Cover By: Vivian, New York, USA
The quilt is made from the pattern by Janet Locey of Henscratch Quilting in flannels (a favorite). It allowed me to try a new tool (Eleanor Burns FG Ruler) and a new technique (hand basting as taught by Sharon Schamber). It was free motion quilted with clamshells on my (old) DSM.

Flying Geese By: marjorie henwood, New Brunswick, Canada
This is the very first flying geese I ever made…it looked so simple. I remember putting the strips of triangles together; thinking how fast that was..then sewed the long rows side by side, and realized that none of them lined up…lol….needles to say; it was a lesson. Don’t hurry!!!!

Flying Geese Applique Quilt By: Patricia Nicholls, United Kingdom
This quilt was finished this morning, its an old UFO and its going to be hung on my bedroom wall. I’m new to quilting feathers and it was a pleasure to quilt so many of them. I quilted it on my Bernina 440 and at 50 x 50 its at the limit for me of how big I feel comfortable to quilt.

No Blue Geese in my Tropical Garden By: Pam in KC, Missouri, USA
When I made the quilt top, every quilt seemed to have blue in it. When I realized that the floral fabric had no blue, I decided there would be no blue geese in my quilt. About a year later, I rented time on a long arm machine. These are my first feathers.

To Everything there is a Season By: Julie Fukuda, Japan
I love flying geese and began this quilt with those blocks. When I couldn’t find fabric to fill the spaces between, I came up with a list of birds and flowers in my past gardens that, like the geese, represent the coming and going of seasons. All hand pieced and hand quilted.
