Making the Geese Fly!!

Today we are supposed to be working on the borders of the Orange and Green Charity quilt, but time has gotten away from me, so instead let’s flashback to some great Dot-To-Dot Quilting…..

These simple lines are a great way to emphasize the movement in the Flying Geese blocks…..

I haven’t talked about this quilt in a while, but I love the “Crumbs For The Geese” design…..

Remember that there is pattern available that includes not only the written instructions, but a link to a private video about making flying geese blocks AND making crumb blocks.

You don’t want to miss it.

STARBURST for the win!!

As I got ready to quilt the border triangles I kept thinking about daisies….and sunflowers…..and other flowers with lots of little petals!!

Can you tell that I am ready for SUMMER!!

But, I needed the lines to be straight, so I did the next best thing……

I love this design for two reason…..

One, it is FAST and EASY…..

Two, it adds movement with straight lines!!

Last thing to quilt are the larger border areas……

Any thoughts??

Add some sweetness with Ribbon Candy

I thought long and hard about what to quilt in the larger triangles on my Orange and Green Charity Quilt.

In the end, I decided that curves…..specifically “Ribbon Candy” curves were the way to go……

And, in the end, they were perfect…..

…and did a magnificent job of drawing your eye to the “Square Spiral” design….

I am also excited about the secondary design that is formed when the corners meet….

We’re getting close to finishing the Orange and Green Charity quilt! Who knew that it would provide so much fun with machine quilting?

Come back next Friday as we tackle the borders!!
