Goose in the Pond Variation

I got my red and white Goose in the Pond sewn together on Saturday.  It always takes me longer to sew blocks together than I think it should.  I stop and press with each addition because I don't like to do all the pressing at the end.


 I'm very happy with the way this top turned out.  I was hoping to make something a little smaller since it will be for display, not a bed, but I would have had to make super tiny nine patches to make it smaller. Three inch nine patches was as small as I wanted to go.   This quilt is about 64"x84".

I have already talked to Denise about custom quilting it.  There is a lot of white space for feathers or another design.  She suggested a double batting.  Can't wait to have this one done and on display!

I really like this one a lot. Red and white looks so clothes-line fresh.

Very nice. It looks 'crisp', which is good.

It's beautiful. I hope you'll be able to take a photo of your entire foyer/staircase when you have everything displayed. I can't wait to see it all.
