Geese in My Garden

Geese in My Garden - Eleanor Burns published this pattern in a quilting magazine & was designed for a single bed. I amended the pattern to be queen-size. The fabrics are 30's reproduction fabrics on white. Floral rows are hand appliqued & the flying geese are machine pieced. The quilt is machine quilted on my Elna Quilters Dream with a swirly pattern quilted in the white areas around the geese & flowers and curving feather in the border. The picture does not show the finished edge which is scalloped and bound by the same green in the stems & leaves. The quilt was given to my nephew & his wife in celebration of their marriage prior to Chad leaving for Afganistan- thankfully he is now safely home.
