Flying Geese and Swans by Lotje Via Flickr: (180x180 cm / 71x71 inch) I want to use the beautiful traditional Flying Geese pattern in a way that by mingling the blocks the geese would repeat themselves at another scale. Thus I hope to create more depth in the quilt. Like different flocks of geese flying south in the fall, high in the air or low. (And the back shows really giant geese). That's also why I use winter sunset colors in the piecing. And sometimes little nice accidents were allowed to stay visible, like a selvedge that adds a nice diagonal, to add interest to the piecing.The quilting repeats the pattern more freely, in a free motion quilting pattern, to give it more movement. blogged
