During a recent updating in my studio, I mentioned to hubby that I now had room to sort and store my scraps - at least by cool, warm, and neutral. I was surprised he had strong feelings about it! Apparently he has an opinion and a fondness for my big jumble of a 'scrap basket' - for which this newsletter was named. Random but true!

This issue of The Scrap Basket is very topical - a whole gaggle of flying geese! But first . . .

WHAT'S UP

It took me long enough, but I finally got a tutorial posted for the most recent version of my "Spiraled" series. Just click here.

WORTH A READ

ROUND-UP

Now on to those flying geese, one of the basic quilting building blocks! Starting with the most basic, Pat/Pat Sloan has a straight-forward tutorial for single sew and flip flying geese. There's even a video(!) plus a handy 'formula' for making geese one at a time. [quilterpatsloan]

Shannon/pieceful kwilter shares her tutorial for stitching a batch of No Waste Flying Geese. Multiples, oh yeah. [piecefulkwilter]

Of course there's gotta be a wonky version. Meet Jenifer/42 Quiltswonky flying geese.

Annnnd, thanks to Michael Ann/Michael Ann MadeFoundation Pieced Flying Geese. For you avid paper-piecers, Michael Ann even has tutorials for a Tiny Geese Keychain and Lanyard[michaelannn]

ON TREND

Now for some quilts! Rachel/Snippets of Sweetness used half-square triangles to create flying geese blocks for her Geese Over Fields[snippetsofsweetness]
 

Joanna/The Fifty Factor created her Purple Flying Geese quilt with a multitude of prints and solids.

Darcy/Modern Cozy used jumbo flying geese to really pack a punch. [darcychildress]
 

The Big Geese quilt made by Rebecca/bryan house quilts was also made from half-square triangles. Lucky us, Rebecca also shared a tutorial. [bryanhousequilts]

Lindsay/Lindsay Stead's Collection Quilt 1 uses geese that are not only large, but elongated. Even with a very controlled and neutral palette, Lindsay's quilt makes a strong statement.

The Flying Geese Mini Quilt by Lindsey/Fort Worth Fabric Studio is unique in that it uses flying geese blocks of several different sizes. [fwfabricstudio]

And last, but by no means least are the intricate paper-pieced geese by Kelly/jeli quilts. Many done in minute detail, you'll find a variety of delightful patterns in Kelly's Craftsy shop[jeliquilts]

 

P.S. Entering a quilt in a show and need a Hanging Sleeve Tutorial?
I highly recommend one by Jacquie/tallgrass prairie studio.
