Re: Northern Start Quilt
tcbeginner, I just watched that video again, and Eleanor shows how to make the geese with and without the special Flying Geese Rulers.
With the 25% discount right now, you can probably get the Flying Geese ruler(s) and pay the shipping for less than you'd spend for fuel to go the 90 miles to your JoAnn Fabrics store!

Re: Northern Start Quilt
I'm not a very good quilter, either - in fact, I realized recently that I'm a 'piecer'! I have 8 quilt tops finished that need to be quilted!! I have taken several classes on machine quilting, but somehow it doesn't 'take'!! I'm not bad at 'stitch in the ditch', but get too nervous when I try to do free-motion. Maybe someday . . .

Re: Northern Start Quilt
I think that's wonderful that your students designed blocks for a soldier in Iraq!! What a great project for them - and what a great gift for a soldier.
You've picked a good book to use - Eleanor writes THE BEST instructions! I've always thought that if you can read, you can make a quilt following her instructions!

Gmaann,
What have I gotten myself into! I just watched the online video...that looks difficult. I totally agree the Geese Ruler is the ONLY way to go. Thank you so much for all your help. Like many of my students I need to see something first before I can do it.
Thanks again!

Re: Northern Start Quilt
Hello & Welcomew tcbeginner. So good to have you join us here. Sorry but I haven't seen this book or pattern so no advice from me. These gals are the BEST for helping out when help is needed. Run into a problem, just ask & someone usually has an answer. What a special thing for your students to do for the soldier!!!!!! That is just awesome. Feel free to jump in on any conversation or discussion. We love getting to know new members.

Re: Northern Start Quilt
Here's the book. I would also buy the DVD since it's a good price buying the combo:
