Flying Geese in a Log Cabin.

This is my first post for my new Blog. I hope you will find the information here inspirational and interesting.

A single block from 'Flying Geese in a Log Cabin' quilt for a quilt class I took with Edith Dyke in April 2013. There were a few options for adding the 'geese' to the log cabin block. I chose the 3-D look. You can also set the geese in the corners which would look great too. However, I had never made a log cabin block, or made a 3 dimensional quilt either. So I decided to go for a couple of firsts in one quilt. The third option for the 'geese' was to sew them down after the block was finished; either as is, or do a little fabric folding and turn the edges up for more of an arrow look. I have not fully decided on which I will do once the quilt is completed. Though the 'geese' will be 3-D, but I doubt I will stitch them down at all.

Adventures in Quilting, these are the stories of the quilts and the people attached to them. I Love sewing and quilting, as much as servicing sewing machines. Please stop by and read a bit about the life of a quilt, or sewing machine. Enjoy!
