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.
