Wild Goose Quilt
70 x 82
Another finish for the weekend was putting the binding on this quilt. I started this quilt January 2014 as part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I had a bin of 30's 6" charm squares and wanted to use them up. This block has also been on my "someday" list. This quilt checked 3 boxes.
Originally I planned this quilt to be a twin sized bedspread for the guest house. There are 4 twin beds there and the other 3 have very bright quilts and after I finished the top I realized that this quilt will not look good out there. Instead it was gifted to my cousin. It's the first hand made quilt that she has gotten from me.
I used the 30's charms in the geese and I had a stash of pastel plaid fat eighths that I used for the sashing. The blocks were all paper foundation pieced. It was a great project to take to my quilt club monthly "sew in" days.
The back is a 30's repro green print and I quilted it with the Plume panto. I think the overall feathers complement the repro fabrics.
