Please use flying geese of any size and in any order for this month’s row/strip.. Remember I said you are the “leader” of your strip show. If you choose to let me lead, this month the directions I followed are in this newsletter.

7 Each strip/row can be a different width, but they will all need to be the same length. For this to happen I’ve chosen to add a piece of cream fabric to each end of the strip/row and on each side of the strip. I will use this extra fabric when I’ve finished all the strips/rows to make sure all strips/rows are the same length or if I need be to adjust the width of each row. I will be at a table before each meeting to answer all your questions or you can catch me after the meetings. Oh, the fun we can have stripping. Don’t you wish you had taken up strippingearlier? Be creative. If you end up not liking your quilt when you’re finished you can donate to our holiday auction, I can guarantee someone will love it.

There are websites for those who want directions on making geese: Generations-quilt-patter.com; and kristinesser.com which gives 4 different ways to make flying geese. Also, search Pinterest under flying geese quilts for more possibilities.

Be sure to bring your work to our October meeting and we’ll put on an original strip show. Ready, set, go! In October, let’s give them a strip show they won’t soon forget! Piece, Mary PS. In order for your geese to fly, you can use this picture diagram. No matter what size your geese are, these directions work. You will need to put a square the same measurement of the height on either side of the goose and then cut a square in half and place on either side of the goose.

Use the picture for placement.
