Block Party Quilters

Design your own flock of flying geese in a curved path across a small quilt.  Create the pathway shape on freezer paper to use as a master pattern to paper piece your original design of flying geese.

Typical flying geese are triangles twice the width of the height, evenly pointing in one direction.

Designing your own geese along a curve opens a large scope of design possibilit ies. Use

your curved flying geese as a small wall quilt, table runner, a border, or incorporate into

a larger quilt.

During class, morning will focus on design to draw your curvy geese and make your pattern. After lunch, you’ll learn this paper piecing technique to accurately construct the curved geese. Expect to take home a partially constructed flock of geese with instructions to complete it.

We look forward to having you in class to share this very cool technique!

You will be encouraged to stitch out a sample of each decorative pattern on your machine.stitches.
