    Back in February I posted my first efforts at flying geese and a proposed layout of them. Well this is what I finally did with them and tomorrow they will be hung on our staircase wall.

    I kept these as two separate pieces: one represents flying in the day and the other at night.

    These are destined to fly back and forth for a long time...

    The patterned material is just perfect for this! Well done, and as Hank said, thanks for sharing your work with us.

    Gosh Karin those are even lovelier than I imagined they would be. You must let us see them again once you've hung them.

    Thank you Toni. The top two are paper-pieced so no excuse for bad points really and Mark bought me a new ruler to make the bigger ones so again no real excuses.

    This is pretty artsy stuff innit. I like the looks of these. I'll bet that your home is a joy to behold. I picture it with all manner of your quilting bits tastefully hanging or lying here and there. It is such a blessing to have a talent like this.

    Well done you!

    I have been wondering .... a group of geese is a "gaggle", right? --That is when they are on the ground, but once airborne, they become a "flock"...the same gaggle.
    It's a confusing language sometimes. :)

    Thank you Sjoerd,

    We're running out of wall space what with the paintings we have bought and now my quilted hangings. :D

    Funny how the geese change as they get airborne isn't it... :D and not something I had ever pondered on before Sjoerd.
