Happy Geese Quilt 1

For this generous lap quilt, the general idea was "Geese in columns, irregular amounts of them, all flying the same direction.  The geese are dark colored florals and the backgrounds are not."

I tried a layout with some going sideways, and decided that was for a different quilt, a different day!

I went fabric shopping with Shannon, my Co-Granny, in Anaheim and told her my task:  Buy an 8th of a yard of dark florals.  They don't have to match, I just have to LIKE them!  She helped me pick them out.  The backgrounds are all from stash.  Zillions of fabrics in stash!

There is ONE goose, a steely blue single goose, that was made with a scrap from the wedding quilt I made for my Father when he married his sweetheart when they were in their 80's.  A treasured memory of new love found later in life.

I completed a baby sized quilt from the scraps!

Since Shannon LOVES this quilt, I gifted it to her for her birthday. I kept the small one, with the same blue patch, as a memento of both my dad and of Shannon.
