Yesterday I finished up another take on the geese, and I like it a lot. You can see the Flea Market Fancy in it, but I also used up lots of old pinks from my stash, including a pink Jinny Beyer check that might be from the early nineties.
Since I was cutting yardage, sometimes small bits, I made these blocks 6″ finished, easy to cut and sew and calculate. The quilt finishes at 36″ x 42″.
I used the walking foot with pale yellow Bottom Line by Superior to stitch between all the blocks to keep it square. Then I switched to free motion and did a small stipple over all the background triangles. I was worried that dense quilting might make it stiff, but its not at all, and the unquilted geese are especially soft and nice. Warm and White batting.
I am in love with the rose batik I used for the back.
Stay tuned for version 3, which may be the last of the series!
