Free Quilt Projects - Flying Geese
Flying Geese: One of the
oldest and simplest piecework designs is Flying Geese, always made in
stripes, usually alternating with solid colors. The same design is
much used as a border, blending nicely with any pattern of squares or
triangles. The one shown here is a fine example. The back with its wide printed stripes is almost as
nice as the top. The fabrics are calicoes and
shirtings. This is certainly one of the best
and easiest designs for a beginner and is a perfect scrapbag quilt.

The geese form strips about 4 3/4"
wide, alternated with 3 1/4" dark strips. The strips can be made in any
length and as many as desired pieced together to form a guilt of the width
desired. The back is pieced in alternating bands of
light and dark print. The quilting is in simple
diamond design. 1/2 size piecing
