9 Patch Beauty, the Flying Geese

All 30 of the flying geese sashing for the edge of 9 Patch Beauty have been pieced, I love the precision of foundation paper piecing!


The geese look nice sitting along the edge of the center.

Of course the next step is to remove the paper from the back of the sashing. Some people leave the paper on the backside then remove after they've sewn the pieces to the quilt. I never do, I think removing before sewing is much easier.

Sorry, the blue edge blends into the carpeting.

My 9 Patch Beauty quilt is based on the Get Together Quilt. Here is a link to a previous post so you get read about the changes I made. I'm too impatient to spend time rewriting something I've written before.

I actually like the changes you made to the pattern. I think it gives it more cohesion. Your flying geese look fantastic! I love this quilt! Have a great day Gretchen!

Those flying geese are beautiful! Based on your photo, do you keep adding on to the base piece rather than doing separate geese?

WOW 30 columns of perfect Flying geese blocks! Thanks for showing us how you made them.
This will be a beautiful quilt, Gretchen.
Happy 2023!

You've made my day. First with your warm comments and then I look down to see what everyone is working on and I find flying geese. Thank you Gretchen.

Those geese are beautiful, Gretchen! I'm not a huge fan of paper piecing, but it certainly does make for perfect points! Thanks for linking up with Monday Musings!
