thanks wonderbreadpowers! I made the
triangles out of 6.25 inch squares - just
like the pattern in the book... I just did
some math and upped the numbers of rows &
columns to increase the size of the quilt.
It was a lot of work - my only full sized
quilt for now! Some more baby ones for me
before tackling full (or queen!) sized
again...
Really pretty - I do love your colour scheme.
You are so right about all those triangles (I
feel like I may never get throgh them!), but
it's worth putting in the hard yards.
Oh this is gorgeous! I was just doing a
search on flickr to find some examples of
flying geese quilts as I have just begun
cutting fabric for the same Denyse Schmidt
quilt, which I will be making larger for a
single bed. What a beautiful selection of
fabrics you have used - love the palette. I'm
using a range of the DS Katie Jumps Rope
fabrics for mine (it's for my son) and I hope
it comes close to looking as lovely as this
one.
Thanks so much Bridie! I'm sure that those
Katie Jump Rope fabric will be perfect. I'm
using loads of it in my next quilt and as I
have been cutting away I've been thinking to
myself that it's so rare to find such a great
fabric line that works for men as well...
Can't wait to see your quilt when you're
done!

That's really nice. What size did you make the geese? That was a lot of work!

Thats a truckload of geese! I love it. I'm a big monochromatic fan. Beautiful work.
