The pattern is Triple Goosed by Jelli Quilts on Craftsy. I did further her pattern by adding two skinny white borders with Island Batik rectangles in between. It is now adorning my green wall in my sewing room.
Just so you all know how crazy I am, look at the size of those green geese!! I seriously had my doubts after piecing the first of 4 of these and almost didn't make it. But all said and done I am glad I did. I do have to say that using Island Batik's made the paper piecing some of the easiest I have done. It just creases so well and of course there is no wrong side! When paper piecing I like to take an index card and fold on all the lines on the paper before sewing. I always use my Add a Quarter ruler for cutting the 1/4" seam allowance.
The geese got a little bigger as I went;)
Fun!! Those rectangles really add to the whole - nice call there. I can't believe how tiny the inner geese are.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness! What a fantastic challenge piece! I commend you for working with pieces so tiny - great job! Thanks for sharing this pretty on Midweek Makers
ReplyDeleteThose geese are seriously small, you made a great job. I love batiks, and I have a serious crush on plus and greens, I so love it.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and so beautifully pieced. I feel I NEED to learn paper piecing just so that I can replicate those neat points.
ReplyDeletestunning mini! those triangles (geese) are teeny tiny
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Those have to be some of the tiniest pieces I have ever seen! I love the color selections too!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this....the design, the teeny geese, the quilting and the fabrics. It's too bad I don't love paper piecing, though. :) I'll enjoy looking at your beautiful mini.
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous piece but I can assure you that I will NEVER have the skill set to make on of those. It is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSew pretty!
ReplyDeleteLovely! The borders are a nice touch and the quilting is a great choice. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Eagads they are small pieces!
ReplyDeleteVicki, that is wonderful! So amazing, what you can do with paper-piecing! The circular quilting is perfect for it.
ReplyDeleteWow, do you work with tweezers to able to accomodate the tiny piecing? Very impressive. =)
ReplyDeleteWhile the wind was blowing and howling outside, you definitely had geese flying inside! You have been busy! Cute quilt; those little green geese are adorable, but I'll bet they were a bit of a challenge! Fun!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed with your quilt. It really looks like movement especially with the circular quilting! mary in Az
ReplyDeleteHow cool!!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips about using a card & your Add a 1/4 ruler!!
Yes, you are CRAZY!! Those teeny tiny pieces scare me! But it was so worth the effort. I love this mini! Outstanding finish!
ReplyDeleteThose center triangles aren't geese, they are too tiny...they have to be flying hummingbirds :) I think you've made a beautiful finish for this month's challenge.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, but, tiny!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery cute geese, well done on a great finish!
ReplyDeleteThat's an awesome mini quilts. Then I saw the size of the geese and I thought, no way, ain't doing this. lol. Congrats on this gorgeous little finish. ;^)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you added the quarter to show perspective and boy, did you ever show perspective!
ReplyDeleteI love how you framed the geese with the rectangles. You did a great job Vicki, this mini is so impressive!
ReplyDeleteOkay...I'm glad you made this! It's gorgeous! Yes, those guys are tiny and can be a pain in the butt! However it was well worth it in my opinion!
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are teeny tiny. It is in impressive mini and I really like your concentric circles.
ReplyDeleteLove this! I think I may already have this pattern on my Craftsy wish list. I need to check.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I can no longer find the pattern on Craftsy, the link brings me to the home page. Do you know where else I may find this? Thanks!
