I also finished the Flying Geese quilt I started last fall. Well, the top. I named it Heading South. Once it is quilted I will finish it with brown binding. I wanted these quilts small (about 36") to use as table toppers. I'd like to do one more for Halloween and I also have a 1930's grandmothers flower garden hexie quilt top almost done for a springtime quilt. Oh and my 4 block tulip applique for spring as well. I thought I took a photo already but it's lost. It's a good thing I have more than one table these will fit.
In the past I would have made a little quilt like these in a week. Instead of sewing all day like I used to I'm now busy working in the woods. It was a bit overgrown when we got it about 5 years ago and I can see areas (It's 11 acres) where we have done nothing and the weed trees are obviously continuing to grow. So my mission this summer is to cut them back and eliminate them. Either literally or figuratively. Mark will cut the bigger ones though they allllll get killed by me. And I LOVE trees. Opening it up to sunlight allows the wildflowers to grow and I love those too.
Since it is hot again today I have some time for blogging so I am joining these linky parties

Oh my! These are just darling! And looking back, that sashing/diagonal setting is very clever, indeed!!
These are beautiful!
They are both so great! That heading south tho - that one calls to me!!
Both are beautiful. Heading south would go well on a table in my home - I might make a flying geese table topper like yours someday. But right now I have too many projects started. The diagonal assembly is the way I sew a top together too, if it's on point. I like to lay it all out on the design wall, so I don't get the wrong pieces sewed together.
Thanks for linking with Design Wall Mondays,

Both quilts turned out beautifully!
Thank you Sarah. I have done few diagonally set quilts. Maybe this method will allow for more. Remembering to do it is the trick.

What an inspiring post — the way you tied together craftsmanship, history, and personal stories really makes the quilting tradition feel alive. I especially loved how you drew connections between old techniques and modern creativity. It reminds me how sometimes upgrading or letting go (like people do with cars) isn’t just about usefulness — it’s about moving into what fits better now. Services like Cash for Cars Brisbane play into that idea — turning something you’ve outgrown into resources for what’s next.

What a beautiful tribute to quilting — the way you blend colors, textures, and tradition into every stitch is really moving. Your storytelling makes the heritage of quilting feel alive and deeply personal. It also reminds me how communities can renew old things rather than discard them — much like A1 Wreckers helps give older materials or items a respectful, useful second life.

What a heartfelt post — the way you express the textures, patterns, and stories in each quilt really moves me. There’s a rich layering of history and creativity in your work that feels both deeply traditional and wonderfully alive. It makes me think how much value there is in preserving things, whether fabric or metal — places like Metal Biz Recyclers do meaningful work by giving old materials new life instead of letting them get lost.
