Geese in Motion Quilt With Jenny Doan

Do you love trying out unique quilt patterns? If you do, here’s a geese in motion quilt tutorial by Missouri Star. I have never seen something like this before. If you are already familiar with the flying geese quilt pattern and the chevron quilt pattern, this project will be easy for you. It combines both patterns so you will be doing the same process with this design.

I definitely find this pattern fun. You can see the flying geese moving since the triangle is moving up and down. It may be tricky at first, but after you have sewn several pieces together, you’ll get the hang of it and you’ll enjoy the process. If you still don’t have a project lined up, why don’t you try this quilt pattern? Watch the video below for the step-by-step instructions from Jenny Doan.

Easy Geese in Motion Quilt Materials

• 1 roll of 2 1/2″ print strips
• 2 yards of background fabric (includes inner border)
• 1 1/4 yards of outer border
• 3/4 yard of binding
• 4 1/2 yards of backing
• binding tool

How to Make the Geese in Motion Quilt

Step 1:

Get two strips, keep them folded, and stack them. Take the binding tool and place it on the strip. Trim off the selvage edge and cut the slanted edge. You will get pieces that go to the left and some pieces that go to the right. Make two stacks for these pieces. You need 100 pieces for each direction.

Step 2:

Cut 2 1/2″ squares from your background fabric and fold in half diagonally to make a crease. Get one and place it on the straight end of one of the cut pieces. Just make sure that whatever angle the diagonal cut is you are coming in toward it.  Cut 1/4″ away from the sewn line and press it open. Repeat to all of your pieces.

Step 3:

Get 2 1/2″ squares and cut directly in half diagonally. Sew it next to the geese just like in the photo below. Press it open. Next, get another geese and lay it on top. The fabric should always go up next to the white. Sew them together. Press them open.

Step 4:

Get another geese piece and lay on the same direction as the first piece beside it. Keep on adding on top and on the side. You need 20 pieces(one side) for each row.

On the end, use the small white triangle as the guide and trim the excess off. On the front, cut triangles from a 6 1/2″ and 5 1/2″ squares and sew them. Trim the excess of your block.
