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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.

Proud to be Canadian By: Peggyp,
Ontario, Canada
I saw this pattern and thought it was a beautiful tribute to Canada. I searched high and low for the fabric line, which was discontinued by then, and found most of it at various shops. It incorporates 3-D flying geese, the first time I have tried this.
The pattern is by Sipiweske Quilt Designs.

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).

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.

Nancy Drew yardage!
I would buy some deep blue dyed fabric to make a nautical quilt.
Some solids!
Either Kona solids or more purple fqs for another scrappy purple quilt.
I would buy the new Me and My Sister Collection, Giggles.
So many choices!! I don’t know what I would buy!!
I am thinking some Christmas fabric! What an opportunity!
Keeping my fingers crossed!!
Kona solids….And a few pretty fat quarters
Nhsarab at yahoo dot com
I have my first great grandson due in January and would probably get some minky for a blanket for him.
I’d love to get some Timeless Treasures glow in the dark spider web and Michael Miller glow in the dark fairy frost. I’m working on some Halloween projects and they could always use some more glow.
I would buy some Bella solids! Love these flying geese quilts – especially the literal interpretation!
I would buy some tone on tones. I love those.
Love any Japanese themes, just in love with Japan at the moment. Thanks
With the $25 certificate I would choose some tone-on-tone which are so useful in many ways.
I would get some grays and greens to help with a log cabin baby quilt I want to make.
Batiks, batiks and then some batiks! And did I mention batiks?
Just one?!!! The Op Art black & white or one of the pastel nations, or….
I love purple …so i would more than likely find myself looking through that color range first!
:)
I’ve had my eye on Soho Chic for a while so as soon as the yardage arrives in stock I’d get that.
I love the flying geese block and have made the block but have yet to make a quilt using it. I love seeing so many different quilts using the same block–beautiful job, ladies!
Batiks and more Batiks
I’m eyeing the Mod Guys collection!
I’d buy stonehenge, in any colorway!
LeeAnna Paylor
great fabrics! just fabrics! hugs
I am always on the hunt for more batiks. Just love petting them!
Solid colors are on my shopping list and this would be a great time to get started!
I’ve wanted to make a cathedral windows quilt for a long time with the ‘background’ in lots of greens and the inserts in bright floral colors. I need more greens. Lots of light medium and dark green fat quarters.
I would pick gingham and calicos
I’d get some jelly rolls!
Batiks! Definitely batiks. Love batiks!!!!
Most definitely would use the prize to purchase fabrics from the upcoming Bluebird Park line from Moda. I need to make a new Spring quilt and that is definitely what I’ll be using for it.
Thanks!
I am in live with the new Gelato Batiks by Hoffmann.
OHH! Too many to choose from maybe a jellyroll or some solids.
Love Riley Blake’s red truck yardage! Thanks!
It would be fun shopping with a gift certificate. I would start with the 30″s fat quarter bundle. I love the colors of 30’s feed sacks and scrappy quilts.
I would buy some new prints and solids.
I would love some batiks in fall colors!
“Flight of the Seagulls” shows me that there is much more than one way to set the Flying Geese blocks. I love this one.
If I won, I would buy some Lottie Da by Heather Bailey!
These are SO lovely. ALL of them. If I won the $25 certificate I would buy shirtings. The new Somerset line is GORGEOUS!
I would probably buy some 12 days of Christmas fabric by Anni Downs.
I would like the Kona solids or perhaps some Christmasy fabric. Hmmmmm.
Thanks for the giveaway!!
Hugs.
great entries this time around. I would buy Delicious Wishes. thanks for the giveaway
Enjoyed looking at all the quilts and had a hard time deciding which one I liked best.
I’m ready to start sewing my Christmas projects. I would spend the $25 on more Christmas fabric.
I think I would consider A Soldier Story……or Zombie Apocalypse now that will be fun!!!!
I would buy something on sale for sure. Nothing like a fun fabric on sale! Pretty quilts!
I’ve had my eye on some Hipster orange rain yardage — I love that print!
All the calico fabrics are the best for me I love to make old looking quilts.
Great bunch of quilts. Enjoyed browsing.
