No, not me, I am very happy to be an infrequent flyer these days. But that was the name I gave to this quilt because it is made up of lots and lots of flying geese blocks. Hilarious play on words, I know.
It was meant to be a scrappy quilt but could actually have benefited from using fewer fabrics, because then there would have been more surprising shapes. You do it in rows of flying geese that are offset, so then if you use the same fabrics in adjoining blocks you get odd shapes ... but I used almost too many scraps for that to work.
Nonetheless, I do really like it, the colours are lovely and it's gone straight on my bed because it looks good with the gaudy ikea curtains that I love.
Very basic meander quilting. In other news, I had another lovely day at the beach, we went in to Canberra for drinks on Saturday (very fun) then back on Sunday to pick up number two from the airport for a few days! It is very lovely to have a child at home and we are trying to make sure the countryside isn't too boring. Also, a few months of bar work is resulting in some excellent christmas cocktails - this is a caipirissima. Icy and rum and lime and delicious! Yay for kids with random part time jobs.
