I finally finished my Hope Valley Flying Geese Pinwheel quilt. This quilt has been a couple of years in the making. I'm glad I picked it up and started working on it again because I majorly ♥ how it turned out! My huge
list was such motivation for me to really get going with my forgotten projects. I was going to bind it in orange but this print from the Hope Valley collection looked good with the front and back so I went with it. Going now to snuggle under it with a hot cup of tea on this misty, rainy morning.
Have a happy, restful Sunday :)
☆☆☆ Because a few people have asked, here is how to make a Flying Geese Pinwheel block, make 4 flying geese units, cut 4 pieces of background fabric the same size as your flying geese units, sew the background rectangle to the flying geese unit along the "point" side. Arrange units like a pinwheel. Easy Peasy! I used 3.5 x 6.5 inch Flying geese and background pieces.☆☆☆
Linking up with {sew} modern monday and Quilt Story for Fabric Tuesday.

beautiful! it's so so so nice to finish a long-tern UFO, isn't it?! congrats :D
ReplyDeleteHope Valley is one of my all time favourites. This is really lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt - I hope you don't mind but I have pinned it here, hope that is OK with you
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I may have to something like this with my Hope Valley scraps! Love it!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's the first time I have sent such a design on a quilt, it's really lovely. It must be such a relief to finish it. I'd love to do this design on a kindle cover for my daughter. I've just made a little yellow and black bee cell phone cover for my $15 Tracfone SVC phone for seniors that I wear around my neck. I like this little phone as it has large keys and letters on the screen so I don't strain my eyes when making calls & it only costs me $7/month for service. Now my little grand daughter also wants a little bee pouch to wear around her neck to put her lip gloss and phone in. I so enjoy making the cute animal characters on the pouches.
ReplyDeleteit turned out so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Great call on the blue binding. Kudos to you for finishing up!

ReplyDeleteIt turned out so beautiful, Erin! I hope you enjoyed your tea while being under the beauty ;)

ReplyDeleteHi! I love, love your work. Where do you get your fabric?
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt and I wish I understood how you made it!? :) Is there a tutorial anywhere?
