Have you ever wanted to sew flying geese in a circle? This is a fun project that I’ve wanted to do for a while using a free paper pieced pattern by Piece by Number. I’ve seen various quilters use this pattern with stunning results using all different types of color schemes.
I feel in love with the Mama Said Sew line by Sweetwater for Moda last year and picked up a few 1/2 yard pieces. I decided to use this grouping to make my test circle of geese.
The quilt square finishes at 12 x 12-inches, and I added a 1-inch black border all around:
Circle of Geese Block
This block came together pretty quickly, and I think I may make two more using the same fabrics to make a table runner.
Just for fun, I took a little moose figurine that I purchased last summer at Grand Teton National Park and added it to the center of the unfinished block. I think he looks cute!
I might make a small matching wall hanging using this fabric, but I’ll probably reduce the pattern to make a 9-inch finished block instead.
Have you made a fun block with a circle of geese? I’d love to hear about your project!
Happy piecing,
