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.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful 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!
ReplyDeleteI see a great balance of colours! Hope it raises lots of money
ReplyDeleteFabulous quilt, love the colours, and what a great backdrop!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt and hope it makes a lot of money for the cause :)
ReplyDeleteWhen 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.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors!
ReplyDeleteThis is a stunning quilt! Definitely giving me some ideas for our MCM bee. I love quilts with a cause.....
ReplyDeleteLook at all that snow! Great setting for a colourful quilt.
ReplyDeletegorgeous colors and layout Carla!
ReplyDeleteIn 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
ReplyDeleteSo lovely! I think the colors are nicely balanced. Plum is one of my favorite colors.
ReplyDeleteIt'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!
ReplyDeleteOH WOW ! I love it xx
ReplyDeleteI love both the flying geese block and the wonderful colours in this quilt! It's a great quilt!
ReplyDeleteThis 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
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThat top makes even the snow look warm. Well done.
ReplyDeleteWhichever way you play with these blocks, Carla, they all come up trumps!! They certainly add a vibrant spash of colour in your wintry landscape!!
ReplyDeleteOK, 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?
ReplyDeleteIt is so bright and cheerful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous quilt. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow! 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!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt Carla your Bee mates really did you proud.
ReplyDeleteit's gorgeous, Carla!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors! So bright and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is gorgeous Carla! I love the design, and the colours are so harmonious and bright, perfect for a grey winter's day!

ReplyDeleteI am blown away at how beautiful all those blocks are. I love the arrangement as well.
ReplyDeleteLove how your quilt turned out!

ReplyDeleteIt's the perfect amount of yellow...and every other color! I adore this .....another winner, Carla!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt's stunning, Carla! Love the mix of fabrics. Just the perfect amount of yellow.
ReplyDeleteFabulous with a capital F!
ReplyDeleteStunning!!!
ReplyDeleteSo colourful!
ReplyDeleteAwesome 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.

ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful quilt! I love the bright colors.
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning :)
ReplyDeleteW.O.W., that quilt looks fantabulous! What a great idea to ask for flying geese blocks for a Bee quilt!
ReplyDeleteSuch 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteHi 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.
ReplyDeleteHave 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!!
