Flying Geese

Post by teddybear73 » Thu Oct 02, 2008 2:03 pm

Hello Ladies,

Can I use fat quarters to make the geese part of my quilt? What color background would you suggest I should use with different shades of pinks and purples? Your suggestions will be greatly helpful? Thanks

What size geese are you making? And are you using Eleanor's rulers? If so you can use fat quarters... you will be using 2 different sized squares! I LOVE her method and never use any other... you get perfect geese every time with the rulers...

Cheers!

Teddybear - I'd use white. If you are doing finished 6" flying geese you cut your first squares 7-1/2" and 9". A fat quarter is cut at 18" so it might be iffy to get that 9" block. I am using fat quarters for the 7-1/2" block and yardage to cut my 9" blocks. I'm making flying geese to use as a border on a Christmas panel.
