Join the Fun Medallion Quilt Along

Welcome everyone!  Thanks for playing along.  I look forward to seeing the center of your medallion quilt.  Our first border is a play on flying geese.

I used a no waste method.  This is made possible with a flying geese ruler.  I like this method for two reasons.  First there is no waste.  Second I can cut geese, and sky from the same strip.  And if I need to I can cut squares that fit them also.  No cutting different sized strips.  YAY!

Here’s how to use a flying geese ruler.  The one shown is Bonnie Hunter’s Essential Triangle Ruler

See Easy peasy.

Sew a sky background to a print geese as shown

Next sew a background geese to the previous unit as shown.

Continue with this process unit you have 4 strip with 6 print geese, 5 background geese and finish off with a sky background. Also make 4- half square triangles with remaining sky pieces.

Sew a geese strip to each side of your center. To the two remaining geese strips sew a half square triangle to each end as shown.

Want to see what the completed quilt looks like?  You can see it here.

Get the medallion quilt pattern, Mountain Home, and join the fun.
