My CRAZY Flying Geese Quilt Border

Who says Flying Geese have to fly in formation? Mine lean this way and that, and that’s exactly what gives this quilt border its texture!

I took the familiar Flying Geese shape and stitched it as a free-motion quilting design. Some triangles are tall and some are squat, and the wavy lines along the sides give the geese a little room to wander.

Try this: As you quilt each triangle, pick a different spot for the point. Aim one toward the middle, then scoot the next one to the side. Let a few triangles get tall or squat as you go.
