Yah! My Big Geese quilt is my first quilt finish for 2015!
I had the idea for this quilt in late 2014 and I thought it would be a perfect quilt to share a tutorial. Look for the Big Geese Quilt tutorial later this week! Here’s the tutorial!
For the color inspiration I have to give a shout out to these blue blue blue quilts. I just love the color scheme and had to make a blue quilt.
For the quilting, I used a simple and wide cross hatch quilting. On the front, I used a white thread and for the back, a dark blue thread. Then after I finished the quilt, I washed it to get that lovely crinkled look.
For the back, I happened into a quilt shop having a sale and found the perfect backing. It is from Lizzy House‘s Constellation fabric line and is a natural match and a fantastic fabric. Lucky me!
Oh wow, I just love this! The scale is fab, and I think the varied crass hatch quilting really take it to the next level.
love it!
ooh I LOVE big blocks! This turned out beautifully!
oh gosh! Those are big geese! I love it!
Beautiful! I love the big, big geese and the quilting make it even more gorgeous!
Very fun! I love big blocks too!
Gorgeous quilt! Those big blocks are such a great idea!
Lovely! Perfect quilting choice!
Hello, I love this quilt. You say that you used a dark blue for the back and white for the front, is this when you were piecing it together or beforehand. As I am doing a quilt with a dark blue back an white and yellow front. I'd rather not have the threads show like yours, so would love any advice.
Your quilt was a huge inspiration to me! I've posted my version, and linked it back to you. If you'd like to see what I did, here's a link: https://creaturecomfortquilts.wordpress.com/2015/07/10/big-geese-quilts-sails/. Keep up the great work!
