Design Wall Monday-More Geese on the Ridge

A few posts ago I mentioned that the pattern for the Buffalo Ridge quilt had you make twice as many flying geese units as was really needed.  So I had 144 geese left over from that quilt.  I’m trying to deal with leftovers right away so they don’t get lost in all the sewing room clutter.  I came up with this block to use the geese.  I got 18 blocks from the leftover geese.  That meant I needed an alternate block to make a decent size quilt.

Geese-2

After playing around in EQ7 for awhile I decided this block would work well so I made 17 of them.

Geese-3

All the blocks are made and I have a few on the design “wall”. I’m hoping the secondary pattern will look like light and dark circles.  What do you think?  I hope to find time this week to sew them together and find out! Be sure to check out what everyone else is working on at Patchwork Times

Geese-1
