SAHRR Flying Geese Round #4

If you read my last SAHRR entry, you will know I thought the round would be Flying Geese. No one prompted me but my guess was correct. We do see them frequently in Round Robins, so this wasn’t really a hard guess. Next week’s prompt could be much harder to figure out so I am waiting until tomorrow to find out! If you want some eye candy, check out the links from the bottom of the page (on Anja’s blog) to see what others are doing! I am sure you will be amazed at the variety or projects!

Where I Started

Here is where I was when I last left you. Hourglass blocks waiting for the completion of the borders. My original plan using them as cornerstones stuck, so you will see them there!


My Flying Geese

Sandra of mmm Quilts! did a fade of hourglass blocks and I rather likes that. I decided my geese would get larger as they got to the center of the border. I tried a few other options in EQ8, but didn’t love them. This one won, and I am so glad it did!

The State of The Quilt Top

I am very pleased with the way this border looks. I like the flying geese pointing towards the center. I also think the repetition of the colors in the spools is a good way to keep some lightness in the colors. I believe I will add a coping strip again, as then I will have a 32″ measurement to work with for the next border. Again, I will do 4 blocks of the next prompt and wait to see what the very last prompt is before making any decisions as to whether it is in the cornerstone or staggered in the border. I am thinking it needs something a little less symmetrical as we get to the next border….or maybe tilted like the spools.

Here is the schedule if you are interested. The links are updated to the right post so you don’t have to look for it as we move along.

    The Flying Geese for Round 4 worked really well with the Hourglass cornerstones from Round 3, Kathleen. Luck or planning? Either way, it’s awesome!

    I like how the positioning draws your eyes in and to the center / middle of the quilt. And fun choice for how your geese change in size. I’m curious what this week’s prompt will be!

    Hi Kathleen! Oh, this is coming together quite nicely. I love those hourglass blocks as cornerstones with the FGs in a variety of sizes. How clever is that?!! I’m loving the path this is on and that center block is quite striking. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne

    Hi Kathleen, I really love what you did with the different sizes of flying geese and their placement. Looking forward to seeing what you do next!
