Downton Abbey- flying geese quilt pattern

Flying geese quilt pattern

This is something I have planned for some time. It is easy,yet fills up the spaces. I am free hand drawing the pattern so no block will be exactly the same. Geese are not the same.

Downton Abbey hand quilting continues

Made excellent progress on my quilt. Finished 2 blocks and started the black border. Will do rectangles and squares in red. I have completed two sides and started the third. I just love this quilt and taking my time with the quilting.

Next set of blocks..4 to finish the next row...press n seal...

Actually the four previous blocks were two and two with different quilting patterns. Tried to combine simple and dense quilting.

Next four set are very basic blocks within a block. I wanted to try the press n seal technique. So I picked a medium dense center and ended up with simple swirls in four corners. It is either the press n seal or the fabrics that are making quilting theses blocks a bit more harder. I like the design so I will proceed slowly and rest a day I between blocks. I would like to use the press n seal more, but we will see how this week goes. Spent a good part of yesterday quilt under the umbrella on the deck with a great view. Breezy, so quilting was not bad. Very relaxing with a drink near by.

A few more circles.

Second set of blocks

Next blocks (4) with this quilting design. Looping pattern in lower left and upper right corners. Plan to do in all corners.

Next set of quilting of blocks...

Quilting is taken from a few ideas. Finished one block this evening.

Second set of blocks quilted

Finished the second group of quilting blocks. Now to decide on quilting for the next group of four. Would like to use a feather type quilt in the triangles. Not sure about the other set in the block.
Quilting is coming right along.

Mini Downton...blow up??????

Completed the top...it changed a bit from yesterday. Love it and shared it with the group. Probably will go a general overal, quilt pattern. Maybe an Arizona hand project.

This way....or

This way??? Not sure.

Side project..mini Downton Abbey mystery

During the mystery, some gals did mini quilt blocks. I begun this process and really enjoyed it. (Except the math).

The material was picked out by Dan for my retirement gift. I may not have enought fabric, but can substitute as needed with my stash. Here is an update on blocks I made yesterday and today. While not perfect, it will get lost in overall quilt. So happy with the progress. Keeps my sewing machine skills up to date.

Overall quilt process.
