Geese Flying Everywhere

I have put the Jinny Beyer quilt on hold (again) .... can't seem to sort out where the problem is and not much patience with it at the moment so have dragged out another UFO to get stuck into.

This time I can't blame someone else if the pattern is wrong because it is mine .... lol.

I have always like bright colours on black and also like Flying Geese so I figured I would combine the two. I used EQ (5) to design a quilt that used the colours of the rainbow with gradient shades of each colour in strips.

When I designed the quilt was block was only 4 x 10 but changed my mind (girl's prerogative) and made then 6 x 15. Will probably only have one row of each colour now with the larger size; just have to look at how it sits.

I have put one block of each colour together and am pleased with how it looks. Sadly the colours do not photograph as well as real life but at least you get the general idea; they are more vibrant and alive.



The only block I wasn't able to finish was the indigo one. I need one more FQ in a deep indigo to finish the 5 colours and have had trouble finding one deep enough to complete the set.

I have also completed the top of the cot quilt for my new grandson due in early March. I just have to do the quilting and binding then will post a picture for you. It is in beiges and creams and has appliqued sheep, moons, cows and stars on it. I am happy with how it turned out.
