Small Packages

Remember as a child when you would find your Christmas gifts under the tree and begin shaking them to guess what was inside?  I was often reminded by my parents that, "Good things come in small packages."  I believe the same thing is true about quilts.  If you are a quilt maker you understand that the smaller the quilt pieces the more challenging a quilt is to make.

Today I am sharing a relatively small quilt (36"x48") that I use as a wall quilt or table topper.  It was made from a pattern by Jinny Beyer called Snowbirds and it's simply row after row of flying geese in the full color spectrum.  Although this is a fairly modern quilt design it still has a subtle Amish look to me so I hand quilted in dark brown (Amish tradition).  This is one of my favorite quilts.

If you haven't tried making a small quilt yet, it's time to take the plunge!



Wherever you are have a wonderful Saturday!

    I haven't tried to do Flying Geese yet. I love this one though with the colour play you've made in the arranging. The border looks scrumptious! This is so beautiful Barb. You are such an inspiration to me.
