Geese pattern is one of my favorite quilts; which is why I’m so obsessed with how this pattern came together. This is definitely for beginners but even seasoned quilters will find this tutorial fun to do. Watch the video tutorial below to learn the step by step instructions. Thanks to The Melody of Sewing for this fantastic quilt tutorial. Make sure to check the channel for more beginner friendly quilt projects like this.

Materials:

  • 6 – 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ squares of background fabric
  • 1 – 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ square of background fabric
  • 3 – 6″ x 6″ squares of main fabric in different colors

Directions:

Step 1

To start, cut three 6″ x 6″ squares of main fabric in different colors, then cut them diagonally. Next, cut six 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ squares of background fabric, then place one triangle on each square. Pin them in place, then sew the edges, leaving the center open. Once done, cut them diagonally and press open.

Step 2

After pressing, arrange the pieces like in the image below. Once done, grab the last piece at the bottom, remove the sewn parts, then place the background fabric on top and the little triangle to the bottom. Then, cut the 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ square diagonally and place each triangle piece at the top, beside the background fabric you just laid. Now, pin three pieces each, sew them together (snip off the dog ears in the process), sew those units together to complete the block, then trim it.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
