Flying Geese | Sharon Keightley Quilts

I have been missing in action for a few days....... do you get withdrawal symptoms when you don't get to sew?... I do. Seriously I'm addicted!

Today is a good day, I am in my happy place at the sewing machine. My machine is cleaned and oiled, with a new needle and I am ready to go. I plan to get busy finishing the flying geese units for the final border on my Vintage Nine Patch Quilt. This is a secret sewing mission I have been doing for Today's Quilter Magazine, you can check out this fabulous magazine here. I'm sure you will love it as much as I do, you will also find some of my patterns in issue twenty three and many more planned for the future. 

I am on the last few, making 120 flying geese units in total. I have chosen to make them in that gorgeous reproduction chrome colour and a few variations that go into more of a brown colour. I have fallen in love with chrome lol and what it does to the quilt. My motto lately is when in doubt add chrome.........it manages to give my quilt that extra punch it needs.
