Starlight geese now a top

 Good Day, and welcome to my blog on quilts and quilty happenings.

I have a project that I have moved forward from blocks to a top minus a border.  I described the beginning of this Starry Geese project in This Post from June 2022,  using This Pattern from Patchwork Pieces.

I used these instructions for no-waste flying geese, making 4 at a time:

Here are the blocks, sashed and laid out on the floor.


In the midst of assembly.  I am using Kona snow as a constant background, and the "geese" are vintage fabrics and feedsack fabrics.

A close up, with a feedsack laid out as a possible border fabric:


Except this feedsack has a big rip in it, as many do.  I'll find something suitable in my collection.  This top is folded up for now, awaiting further inspiration.

Linking up with Midweek Makers, Wednesday Wait Loss, Needle and Thread Thursday, Put your Foot Down at the Quiltery, Nina-Marie, Finished or Not at Alycia Quilts, Oh Scrap at Quilting is more Fun than Housework.

I have a page on Facebook: keep up with my infrequent quilt and stamp posts at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Viridian61/347674418583948?ref=hl

Love the no waste flying geese pattern. Perfect for a project like yours with so many geese. What a fabulous way to showcase your feed sack fabric.

What a terrific block to use up scraps. All the blocks together are beautiful!
