The Quilt Block Quiz


Here is one of my earliest quilts.

It appeared in


Flying geese have always been a favorite block of mine.

Here is another of my early quilts from one if my earliest posts.




This was my first attempt at a flying geese border.
I learned a lot about fabric in this one.
The flying geese were made with assorted fat quarters.
Some of them, even though purchased from a local quilt shop,
were very thin fabrics that stretched and misshaped.
It is quite visible in the lower right corner.
I still love this quilt, though, and hang it every year in the fall.
It is not fall yet, so it is still tucked into my quilt closet.

Why am I posting this today?

According to the quiz on the

I am

"Flying Geese"
"If something's worth doing, it's worth doing right! You might seem shy at first, but once people get to know you they can't help but love you."




I found this posted by


and thought it was interesting so I am passing it along.

Have fun!

    I hadn't seen this - thank you. I passed it on to our quilt guild members - fun. Oh, I was a Log Cabin.

    I was the Flying Geese, too! It's not my favorite block to sew, but maybe I need to relook at it. :O)

    Cute quiz.... I came up Flying Geese too. I used to hate...hate....hate flying geese until I learned some of the newer, fail safe methods. Now I can live with it, but it's still one of the last blocks I'd choose. Hmmmm

    Hi Pat I am flying geese to and one of the first quilts I sold when first started quilting had flying geese in it. It seemed really difficult back then but so much easier now with new methods to make it. Blessings Sandra

    I'm a goose, too! That was a fun quiz. There are many ways to make flying geese with many tools. I think that's one of the things that appeals to be with the block even though I always seem to use the same technique. I know there are other options. Thanks for sharing some of your earliest creations and blogs.
