Bloggers Quilt Festival

I am presenting  Flock O' Geese!

I saw this quilt in Elm Creek Quilts books and had to make one myself! I just love the little triangles. And I made it from some leftover Urban Couture fabrics.

What I learned most is to iron..actually "Press" Press, Press.

I just love the little triangles! And another thing that was helpful is measure 1/4 away from the point. It is very important that you always leave 1/4 alowance or else you will just sew off the tip of the triangles...and again, press-not iron.

I also quilted and binded this myself. What I really wanted to do is straight line quilting but did not know where to run the lines thru so I just did an allover stippling on the long arrm.

The binding is also from the Urban couture line and I did a blind stitch on the back of the binding.

Oh and It's kinda exciting to mention that I entered this is my local County Fair and it won 1st place in it's category.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read about my quilt...Make sure to check out all the others.

f you don't like pictures then I don't think you will like this post. (haha)

Here it is on the longarm...ready to come to life!

And here is a close up of the stippling. I realize straight line quilting would have been ideal but unfortunatly stipplin is all I have really mastered on the longarm

.

I just did a one piece fabric on the back

And here is the binding..(I hand stitch  my binding)

and here he is all folded up being a good boy! (yes I am referring my quilt to a boy? oh no.)

and just a couple more pix just for fun!

Flock O' Geese

I just need to add a border to it but I couldn't wait to post it! I can do a red border, blue, yellow or green? I found the pattern in a book I checked out from the Library. It is called Elm Creek Quilts. Right when I saw this quilt I had to do it!

It should measure around 45 x 56 by the time I'm done with the border.

And here it is all folded up! I'm so happy with it. I made it with my left over Urban Couture fabric. Thanks for looking!
