I made this quilt for my sister on her birthday, and since I loved it so much, I had to make another right away for keeping a while. For the first one I used wide animal print sashing and backing. For the other, a grass print for the sashing and a pale yellow for the back. The rows of geese are a variety of Fall earth tones. It is a classic pattern, strong and dynamic. And yes, you can feel “flight” when you see it.
Canoe Island Flying Geese
6 05 2010This pictorial quilt grew out of a jelly roll (2 – 1/2 inch strips) and matching five-inch charms. The pattern idea came from a Nancy’s Notions catalog. The blend of earth tones, and nature theme are all harmony. The black is a luscious print that coordinates with the top.
