First off the back.
All the backing and binding fabrics are from my stash - the binding is a Jinny Beyer pushing 20 years.
And I've had to alternate the pics from outside: (theoretically better light but tipping down with rain) to inside: dry.
The background to the Geese is just a selection of light turquoise/blu fabrics with either text or some tonal additions. I didn't want a solid as the background as I felt that was going to make it too stark.

Beautiful! I love the colors and all the fabrics!
ReplyDeleteFun!! Prolific!
ReplyDeleteWow a real happy and cheerful quilt. Bet it sleeps good!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how quickly you got this finished! Good though, I guess that means it might make it here before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThat's really beautiful. Love the low volume background for your cheery flying geese.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful quilt! Love the backing too. I agree with your choice of backgrounds for the Geese. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love rainbow your way! You should make it more often
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely! And you can't have rainbows without rain...
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I immediately thought... it's a traffic jam of geese! :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing!
ReplyDeleteIt's so very gorgeous. My favourite combo of flying geese, scraps, and a scrappy background too. Bravo!

ReplyDeleteI love Megan's Traffic Jam image. I was reminded of visiting a Sandhill Crane observation area in Indiana (yes I know, not geese) where they gather by the hundreds to socialize before roosting.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully warm & colourful!
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning! Loving the back and the background for all those yummy geese!!! Perfectly lovely. Way to go ����❤️����
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful quilt. What method did you use to make the flying geese? They all look very neat :-)
ReplyDeleteYou do such a wonderful job with mixing color. I love the way you used a blend of fabrics for the background. It's a winner!
ReplyDeletePerfect antidote to a rainy day! And the background bits do really make it sing.
ReplyDeleteGood call on using pale blues in the background. It allows the other colours to shine without making it stark, exactly as you had planned.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful quilt, you have such a great eye for colour placement.
ReplyDeleteYou've done it again! (Made a quilt that I have to keep coming back to see, that is!)
