Block One is out today.
This quilt was inspired by a pattern by Kate Spain called
Solstice for Moda Fabrics. I have
adapted it for another Moda fabric line from Sandy Gervais called Very Merry. I have added different borders and prepared
instructions for multiple sizes.
You are welcome to use your own color / fabric
adaptations. If you wish to use our
fabrics, Kits will be available at our website - KK's Quilt Studio.
Bed Runner (34 x 106 inches) - Make one Block
Throw/Lap Size (70 x 70 inches) - Make one Block
Queen Size (88 x 106 inches) - Make six Blocks
King - (106 x 106 inches) - Make five Blocks
There are several Flying Geese in this block. I HATE all those extra little triangles that usually get trimmed away. Just a waste. So I am all about the No Waste Method of making Flying Geese. It may even make you love making Flying Geese. I used to avoid them - passing on patterns that had them.
First cut one large square (geese) and four smaller squares (sky). Measurements depend on finished size. I have a handy chart I saved from somewhere - can't see to find where - but Dani Fisk - this is yours, Thank you.
Right Click on picture to save.
Moving along. Draw a line corner to corner on all your smaller sky pieces.
Place two sky pieces on larger goose as shown below and sew a scant 1/4 inch away from line - both sides.
Cut apart on drawn line. Press open. Yes, they look like little kitties!
Place last two squares on these "kitties!"
Repeat sewing either side of line and cut apart. Trim away all those little dog ear corners.
You are almost there. Press open again and voila! Four Flying Geese almost like magic before your eyes! And virtually pain free!
That's all for today.
Happy Sewing!
