The other day after I got the last of the blocks in the mail, I layed them all out on my floor and arranged them this way and that.
When I first had them arranged, I thought the quilt was very yellow. I know that a little yellow goes a long way in a quilt so I was a bit worried. Now when I look at it, I see plum!
All of these blocks came to me from the States except for the five that I made. After a bit of quilting these geese will be flying back home to Corey where she will use it to help raise funds for her Church's mission work : )
Have a great day!

looks great! Inspires me to do a flying geese quilt too.
Beautiful quilt! I remember Ashley's from FITFridge and making a note myself that I want to make one. I think the colors in yours work very well together. I would not want to part with that quilt - very generous of you!
I see a great balance of colours! Hope it raises lots of money
Fabulous quilt, love the colours, and what a great backdrop!
I love this quilt and hope it makes a lot of money for the cause :)
When I look at it, I see snow! Oh, will it ever go away? But your quilt looks marvelous - and hot! It warms me up and makes me smile just looking at it.
Beautiful!!
Beautiful colors!
This is a stunning quilt! Definitely giving me some ideas for our MCM bee. I love quilts with a cause.....
Look at all that snow! Great setting for a colourful quilt.
gorgeous colors and layout Carla!
In my mind's eye a quilt just made up of flying geese blocks sounds as if it would be too busy but when I look at you quilt I see I am wrong. It looks lovely and they all work so well together. Simply divine. Philippa xx
So lovely! I think the colors are nicely balanced. Plum is one of my favorite colors.
It's a beautiful quilt! Funny you saw a lot of yellow until you looked at the pics. I saw the red and purples as predominant. Then again, those are colors that I really love!
OH WOW ! I love it xx
I love both the flying geese block and the wonderful colours in this quilt! It's a great quilt!
This is so beautiful, Carla! I have also wanted to make geese quilt for a long time. Your arrangement is perfect and all the colours make this quilt fantastic! x Teje
I just love the look of this Carla. Wish I didn't despise making flying geese so much!! Maybe I just need more practice.....I just can never get them to turn out nice and square.
That top makes even the snow look warm. Well done.
Whichever way you play with these blocks, Carla, they all come up trumps!! They certainly add a vibrant spash of colour in your wintry landscape!!
OK, so, I screamed out loud a little when I saw this quilt! I LOVE it! So colorful, and using one of my favorite block units! May I ask which size your goose unit is?
It is so bright and cheerful!
What a fabulous quilt. Just beautiful.
Wow! This quilt proves how truly wonderful quilt bees are, never in a million years would I have chosen and mingled those fabrics, but it really sings, great placement!
Gorgeous quilt Carla your Bee mates really did you proud.
it's gorgeous, Carla!
Love the colors! So bright and cheerful.
The quilt is gorgeous Carla! I love the design, and the colours are so harmonious and bright, perfect for a grey winter's day!

What a fabulous quilt Carla
Love all the colour! I really like the layout you used too, Carla! Beautiful..
I am blown away at how beautiful all those blocks are. I love the arrangement as well.
Love how your quilt turned out!
What a fun quilt!
It's the perfect amount of yellow...and every other color! I adore this .....another winner, Carla!!
What a fun quilt!
It's stunning, Carla! Love the mix of fabrics. Just the perfect amount of yellow.
Fabulous with a capital F!
Stunning!!!
So colourful!
Awesome quilt. I would have never put those prints together myself and yet it is wonderfully striking. I now want to make one. A charity quilt makes it extra special.

This is such a beautiful quilt! I love the bright colors.
This is stunning :)
W.O.W., that quilt looks fantabulous! What a great idea to ask for flying geese blocks for a Bee quilt!
Such a lovely quilt top, Carla! I'm a sucker for flying geese, and these are effective... and different. Seems that most often I've seen them in threesies. Foursies is very refreshing. And how noble and generous of you to give this away. I know it will be loved.
I absolutely love your flying geese quilt. I was wondering if you could tell me the size of the flying geese block? I want to make a quilt like this!! We live on a pond and have many geese. This block is special to me! I appreciate any help you can give me. Sincerely!
Hi Linda Frankiewicz. You have no e-mail on your profile page so I couldn't reply to you. Hope you see this. The geese units finish 3" x 6". I put 4 together in a row.
Have fun making yours : )
Thank you so much!! I am very new at commenting on blogs. Sorry about no email listed. I LOVE your quilt. I appreciate you getting back to me with the sizes. Happy quilting!!
