3 Geese By: Persimon Dreams, Wisconsin, USA Inspired by the Project QUILTING challenge – Primary Geese. I had to use primary colors and flying geese. The brown squares all have three dimensional ‘lips’ of fabric on them to add yet another element. This runner was fun to make and challenging to get the piecing accurate. Quilt size: width: 50" height: 28" |
 |
African flying geese By: Linda Izzard, Australia My mother embroidered the African animals for me, as a surprise. They are so beautiful, and I decided to use them all in a quilt. I thought the African print fabrics would make great flying geese and they would emphasis the embroideries. Just made it up as I went along really. Quilt size: width: 84" height: 84" |

African safari By: Debbie Lange Quilting, Indiana, USA This quilt evolved. I started with Four Patch Posie center blocks and thought the result was uninteresting so I sashed them with bright solid colors. Then I added Flying Geese to the sides turning them into Star blocks. The white between the stars was too “white” so I sashed them with black batik. Quilt size: width: 69" height: 69" |
 |
Bear Hollow By: Diane U., Ontario, Canada This quilt has 94 flying geese – the technique shown at a workshop made them easy to make. That’s my Nikki girl on the quilt; she loves them!!! Quilt size: width: 90" height: 112" |

Blue Fairy By: Gerda Verwoort, Netherlands Blue fairy was made for my dear sister who loves the flower fairies from Cicely Barker. Designend, patched and quilted by myself. Also the backside has smaller fairies. Quilt size: width: 63" height: 80" |

Duck a L’orange By: Karen H, Ontario, Canada The goose/duck fabric, blue rays & a rust fabric were part of a challenge. I added four more fabrics. The geese/ducks were my inspiration for the circle of flying geese which I drafted. The quilt is embroidered, beaded & shaded with watercolour paints. The bottom edge is a hand beaded fringe. Quilt size: width: 20" height: 20" |
 |
Flight of the Seagulls By: Carolyn Braun, New Jersey, USA There are 6 sizes of geese in the quilt. Some are paper pieced, some are pieced using the quick geese method, and the few lonely ones are pieced with scrap triangles. I quilted the quilt with a wave pattern. The geese go all different directions in the quilt which remind me of seagulls a the beach. Quilt size: width: 54" height: 75" |
 |
Flying By the Seat of My Pants By: Sandi, Wisconsin, USA I made this quilt a couple of years ago for a swap called Modify Tradition. I used a one-seam flying geese technique that resulted in three-dimensional folds. The fabric has birds on chairs, which is how I came up with the name “Flying By the Seat of My Pants.” Quilt size: width: 36" height: 36" |
 |
Flying Geese 4 Patch By: Pat, Australia One of many for my brothers grandchildren. Quilt size: width: 49" height: 64" |

Flying Geese In The Cabin By: Kaaren Biggs, Ontario, Canada A Florida friend was closing her quilt shop and selling partly-made quilt kits in 1995. I wanted to buy this one but another friend got there first, and imagine my surprise when she gave me the kit as a birthday gift! Hand-quilted by a group of Amish ladies. Quilt size: width: 84" height: 102" |

Gull Lake Cabin By: Laurie Edwards, California, USA A custom designed quilt for our friends up at Gull Lake CA. We fish every year in front of their cabin for opening weekend, so last year I designed and made this for them to keep at the cabin. The flying geese represent all the birds that fly around that beautiful Lake in the Eastern Sierras. Quilt size: width: 50" height: 65" |

Hexies on The Fly By: Vicki Purnell, Australia This quilt has machine embroidered panels using the Grannie’s Hexagons from Mother Hen Quilts.

Proud to be Canadian By: Peggyp, Ontario, Canada I saw this pattern and thought it was a beautiful tribute to Canada.

The pattern is by Sipiweske Quilt Designs. Quilt size: width: 76" height: 76" |
 |
Racing Geese By: Melanie Jackson, Oklahoma, USA This was a challenge at quilt camp a couple of years ago. We were given a bag of strips and a certain amount of time to make something. This is what I came up with. I’m not sure of the exact measurements, because I couldn’t find this ufo in my UFO box (been cleaning). Quilt size: width: 30" height: 22" |

Wandering Geese By: Laurel Strand, Washington, USA
Quilt size: width: 35" height: 51" |

Wild Goose Chase (Debbie Rogowski) By: Debbie Rogowski, Texas, USA This is my first goose quilt and I sure went all the way. I found the pattern in a magazine but the instructions were old and out dated. I made a few mistakes, but will now know better next time. Even though I don’t like orange, this is for my granddaughter, I really have grown fond of it. Quilt size: width: 92" height: 92" |
 |
Wild Goose Chase (DOLORES FEGAN) By: DOLORES FEGAN, Kentucky, USA This was my challenge quilt which must include 3 flying geese blocks. My quilt is of a little girl chasing a real wild goose.
