New Free Pattern: Flying Geese Table Topper

Some time ago I finished up this little table topper.

A sweet blog reader had sent me a pile of flying geese blocks that were finished but not sewn into anything.  I went to lay them out to make a little table topper but was short a couple of blocks.  Serendipity, I happen to have the same black fabric in my stash so I made two more blocks.

I sewed them into this table topper.

I had a couple of blog readers ask if I would write a pattern for this.  It sat and sat and I didn’t get to it but recently I decided I wanted to get my Fall stuff out and decorate.  I figured it would be a great time to write the pattern for this so you all could make one too.

Of course, you don’t need to make it black and cheddar.  You could stitch this up in any color for any season…or no season at all.  All you need is…Read More »New Free Pattern: Flying Geese Table Topper

Ask Jo: How I Make Flying Geese

I think one of the top questions I get is how do I make my Flying Geese.  For those of you who don’t know, Flying Geese is a popular quilt block.  They really aren’t hard but get people a little tripped up at first so…after getting several people asking for a “how-to” from me on how I make mine, I finally sat down and made a couple of Flying Geese and took pictures as I went.

One of the most popular ways we see Flying Geese blocks is a portion of a star block.  I pulled a couple of my quilts to show you.

Here Rosie is showing off a quilt I made…I think this was from an issue of American Patchwork and Quilting.  Kelli made one too.  We didn’t design this.

It’s made in all reproduction fabrics and I love it.  There is a block in the…Read More »Ask Jo: How I Make Flying Geese

Quilt Book Review: Love Flying Geese

C&T Publishing sent me a new ebook to review…and I’m happy to say, I love it!  The book is put together by multiple contributors all projects from the magazine Love Patchwork and Quilting.  I know I live rural but I’ve not seen the magazine anywhere in my area.


The quilts are all listed as “modern”…but those of you who don’t like modern, please don’t quit reading.  Modern isn’t my favorite, and yet I still very much liked the book.

I’ve mentioned before that at times I get a little frustrated with C&T.  They send me the ebooks.  They give me the option to review them but they don’t give me the tools to easily do it.  I don’t have access to pictures from the book except for a few.  I’ve looked all over online to find some and this is all I found.


this one too….


Those are not my favorite quilts from the book….I finally had to resort to putting the ebook up on my computer and then taking picture of the computer screen.  So the pictures aren’t the best…but here they are…Read More »Quilt Book Review: Love Flying Geese
