- Snowing again, so I am going to crack on with the pink flying geese quilt I started yesterday. This is Part One, where I talk about the design and construction.
Here are the measurements
For a finished size goose unit of 1”x2” cut one large square 31/4 and four small squares of 1 and 7/8
1 1/2” x 3” cut 1x 4 1/4 and 4x 2 and 3/8”
This is driving me crazy - I’ll see if I can find a link
See you in part two

I sure do enjoy listening to you, it's like family talk.
“Yes Norma you’re in charge here…just not right now.” 😂😂😂
This is the video that got me into making an a flying goose quilt. I think it was the colors you used, I loved them. Thank you.
Kate....PLEASE PLEASE.....another project for you to think about is producing your “one day class” book....produced with all color photos etc...just like your large book....please think about it..."I am the first in line to purchase!
I love the cats! Absolutely love all the things you do. After retiring from my job as a nurse, I have more time to do all these wonderful things. Love your videos!
The other reason me to go back were your curtains! I love them!…
I’m swooning over your big quilt teaching portfolio book! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I love your cats, they’re so calming🥰
I love this no waste, 4 pieces method. So easy . ❤ I Love your 🐈 cats too
Hello there my cats are all over my crafts i would never think wrongly about anything like that we are cat lovers and just love watching your girls enjoy them selves
Cats are there for quality control. They will tell you your project is going to be comfy by sleeping on it. Every cat I've had has slept on any project in progress. I look forward to part two and a chat. :)
Hello thank you for the video I'm in the U.S. in the state of Mississippi I love to quilt I hand piece hand quilt my husband is an aviation mechanic that's the reason for the little thumbnail my name is Jeri it was nice to listen to you and watch this while I had my morning coffee please continue 😃 take care
Avion Mech hi Jeri, thank you so much for popping by! Xxx
I'm learning and being inspired with ideas here. 11 minutes in. Thank you, Kate! Blessings to you!
Kate I’m thrilled you kept the trip around the world quilt as its stunning.
I let my cat, Poppy, watch the videos with me. She likes watching your cats. Thanks for the flying geese tutorials. I really appreciate your videos.
You are the nicest lady and your quilts and cats are beautiful
thank you so much! xxx
I love that color on you you look wonderful in pink and you’re looking well
Love how you document your process! What a treasure that is! I got all my squares cut up and ready for the next step! Off to the next video 💕💕💕
Stunning trip around the world, beautiful colors good you kept it
Love the cats. No worries. Xx
Kate I love your shirt
Quilting is my favourite subject of your videos 🤓 marvellous the FG block
That book!!! Wow! What a treasure trove of information and pure eye candy with all the samples you've sewn. My cats are part of everything I do. It didn't work out so well with wallpapering though, lol.
Hysterical! cats and wallpaper.... laughing out loud. )))))
I didn't even think about cats walking over fabric. They are adorable. My little poodle gets on top of my piecing while I'm trying to make the layout (on the floor because I can't really use a wall in my super tiny apartment) he makes me laugh. He just wants to be a part of everything I do, just like your cats. It's lovely💗
It's so much fun to learn about quilting and see all the fabric choices. Love your work room and cats.
Kate your ⚘Beautiful cats are family! I get that, I love ❤my cats they are my family too 💕I'd rather have my cats around then a lot of human beings I know. you're A ⚘wonderful⚘ person⚘ thanks for sharing your ⚘⚘Beautiful quilts ⚘with us ,and your⚘⚘ Beautiful cats🐺🐱 they make me smile! thanks for☉ brightening my day. another great video as always ! ⚘God bless you

Beautiful quilts Kate you are so talented thank you for sharing your ideas with us all have a beautiful Sunday x
I had the BEST sunday ever - just posted about it! xxx thank you!
Love your cats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sewing flying geese is so addictive. Maybe now, following along with you, I can finish the quilt I started long ago. I'd also like to try making a small crazy quilt with all the different stitches , fabrics, and beads.
You should print and sell that book, with loads of pics of your work. Would sell well.
Love all your cats.
Wish I lived close enough to take lessons from you!
Margaret, wouldn't it be nice to live close to Kate?!! ..and Eileen, Rita, Sadie, Norma, Prudence, Rocky, n Chickens😍💝😘
Watching you with great interest right now because I’m going to attempt a flying goose pattern quilt. Just realised I called Norma Moira 🙀 Please apologise to Norma for me ☺️
I had the same issue with measurements. I worked in a fabric shop where the main floor had dress and quilting fabrics measured out in metric. The drapery and upholstery fabric was downstairs and measured in inches/yards (Imperial). The looms on which the fabric was created and furniture were manufactured still in Imperial dimensions. So I had to become conversant in both. I agree the metric system is easier.
My cat lives to participate in all my sewing adventures! Lol I also make rag rugs I tear cotton in one inch strips, my cat loves to sit right in the middle of the pile as I throw strips! Smokey lives to participate
Hi Kate,
You poor, got you the snow again?
I love the flying geese, but I'm going to start with an even simpler pattern. With which, I don't know yet.
But first I want to finish my scarf. I'm not going to need him now, but first the one and then the other.
What I really love is your work book. I think it can be very helpful for beginners to take regular notes from the beginning of a work.
So you can read again and again and don't forget important things so quickly.
Three quilts at the same time?
You've done something!
But you're also a full-professional, after all. And..... what better things to do than to sit in the warm, with a cup of tea or coffee and to sew when the snow is outside.
I'm already looking forward to Part 2.
All kind greetings and a little sunshine sends you
Claudia
Catching up with your video's again :) I made my 1st TAW last year with random colours - I'm so inspired to make another after seeing you Kaffe version. Now onto part #2 :)
I am so glad I found your channel... I haven't done piecing in a long time. Although I have done a ton of quilt piecing in the past, it's been a while. Amazing the things you forget....looking forward to your quilting series ....it just may inspire me to take it all out and do some sewing. Sorry about the snow ... hoping won't stay too long.
Simply Annie snow replaced by rain, all of which equals MUD. So fed up about this slow start to spring. Part three coming up today. ❤️😊
I can't even express how happy I am to have subscribed. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your skills & to make & post your videos. This one is particularly timely as our Canadian Geese are returning home. Bringing the 'short season' with them (& not a moment too soon!). Lol
Marie Currie Canada geese are my favourite. We had seven on the lake a few years ago, I love to go to the bird reserve in the Scottish Borders and see them by the hundred in the autumn. I went to Canada when I was 14, I’ve always wanted to return. Maybe one day! Enjoy your skeins of geese! A beautiful sight 😊❤️
My Easter Sunday today is working on my first ever Flying Geese quilt, thanks to your inspiration and lovely videos. Happy Easter from Washington state.
Well Ms. KATE,
Today.....I will start my flying geese quilt using your tutorial.
I absolutely LOVE your love of colour and the way you enjoy the projects.
You have introduced Kaffe Fassett's marvelous fabric line in such a way that I find it irresistable.
Thankyou for sharing.
Connie 🐝
You're awesome Kate! To paraphrase: It's what you do!😄
I don't mind your cats, adore them. Always waiting to see mayhem. 🤣😂🤣😂🐆🐈❤️
Hello again. I made a Trip Around the World quilt top using Eleanor Burns pattern. It does not look like your quilt top, I quite like your version. Mine is still in the quilt top stage because I did not like how it turned out. It is nicely folded up and sitting in my kitchen reminding me constantly to finish it! It was one of my first quilt tops to make and I hope I have improved my skills since then. So far your method of making geese seems to be the variation I first learned. The sun is shining here in southern Ontario but forecasting rain for tomorrow. I am hoping to get outside to do some raking. I will look forward to seeing your part two video.
Busy Beaver hi there, pouring with rain here today, so part three will be on it’s way, I seem to have provoked some thought about how to make flying geese, I’m going to try Eleanor Burns method and see if it could convince me to change from this way - I really like this way, so it may not! I know exactly what you mean about having a quilt top carefully folded ...... waiting for you to like it enough to put the work into finishing it, by the time I get to the quilt top stage I usually dislike the thing so much and have to put it away! That has happened here - I’ve just started to hate these colours! 😂 but I’m going to carry on regardless!
The next one is blue and white. Subtle!
Take care
Xxxxxxxxx
Thank you so much for this :) I am learning how to saw, and is going to be a Norwegian folk costume maker over the next three years, so this is very edcational. I have sewen some things, but mostly done knitting, crochet, emorboidery and bobbin lace. Itching to do more things :)
Beautiful cats!!!!!!! I love to see them!
A great idea for the big album. I think I will start putting my quilt blocks
Thank youuuuu!! Soft little ear scratches n treats to the cats; they do make all the difference.
hi Kate i have tried the flying geese blocks and found them easy thanks Pam (australia)
I totally agree about using the imperial system. we americans were going to switch, in 70's, when I was in college but it never totally happened. certainly not in cooking. I am nurse, the only specific measurement was baby weights in grams but that is about all we ever switched. they are now using centigrade for body temp as well but I agree, if we had just switched, we would be fine!
Okay I’m hooked ! I’ve found your channel through Lizzie ! Scrapin Lizzie ! But I’m dieing to learn to quilt ! And sew ! But I love cats ! I have many myself and they walk on my cuting table and every where ! I hope this is an easy quilt !
I love your cats.
My cat is all over my Fabric also but all my sewing friends have cats so if anybody minds they can stay away from me. I also wash whatever I will give to a child. Adults know my cat so I just give them intructions on how to wash. My cat lives here get used to it.
My cats are my children. Yes fingerprints, but no jelly.
Cats live less than humans because their wisdom is born with them and they don’t need the time we do to get it! I hope you can understand what I mean because I’m Portuguese and my English is far from perfect… I subscribe your channel this year 2024 and to understand you I began to watch your videos from the very beginning, 2017 I think. My interest is fabric and sewing and patchwork and quilting, by it’s being lovely your work with wool and garden and the animals… One thing I was curious and the reason to go back into your beginning, were the bees you say you have and I want to when that began…
I woke up to snow as well UGH, so tired of it!! I thought when I saw the forecast that it was a joke but no the joke was on me. Firstly I must tell you I am probably the only person on this planet that does not like Kaffe Fasset fabric but I have to say I absolutely love your around the world quilt using his fabric. Have you ever tried the Eleanor Burns method of making flying geese? I only make them that way it gives me four at a time as well. Can't wait for the next installment of the sewing. I am making a HST quilt right now as well as a couple of others.
Angela10226 I checked out Eleanor Burns, that looks like a really interesting method, and (as you say tomorrow 🤔) gives more seam allowance. I’m making this crazy pink quilt because the commission I will be working on next is this design, flying geese, but in such beautiful subtle colours! So I’m taking a run at it with this as it’s been a while since I made anything. So I’m going to try your method and see if it suits me for this next quilt (blue and white) (no cats near that one!) I have made FG like this for years though, so I can do it easily, but I’m always interested in learning new things!
As for Kaffe, the world would be a dull place if we all liked the same things! When I’d finished that Trip around the World, it so perfectly matched everything in my bedrooms that’s where it it! I think he’s a genius. 😂❤️😊
But so long as we keep sewing, nothing matters!!! 😂❤️😊 thanks for taking time to stop by. I appreciate it so much xxx
🙋🏼♀️🇦🇺💕
Yay!!!! Sewing💕
Hi Kate I'm watching some of your old videos like this one. Have you ever thought about creating an on line quilting course. Just thinking about the lovely book your explaining. Thanks ❤
I so enjoy your videos. I'm a very experienced knitter but I'm new to quilting. Have you considering publishing your 1 day quilting book? I would certainly love to have one! Thank you again and take care!
Kate, you need to make color copies of your book and sell them in the shop.
this block is named because it is the shape that a skein of geese make when in flight, therefore each block is a flying geese block
Absolutely love this, I am so keen to start a quilt but never attempted anything like this before lol! Don’t know where to begin so hoping to learn from your series. I live near Newcastle upon Tyne Kate and have been looking for a “quilting for beginners course” round about but had no luck. You don’t happen to know of one? Maybe you run them yourself locally?
I thought I’d put crafty ideas to bed for Spring to concentrate on the growing season but no! Rain rain and more rain, I don’t know what your poultry area is like, but mine is a mud bath I can hardly keep my feet haha, one of these muddy mornings I will go down I know it haha. Longing for sunshine and to get my hands in warm soil. Take care and thank you for your wonderful videos x
Margery Cummings MUD! That’s all I’ve got out there Margery. I take my life in my hands, slipping and sliding about the place to feed and collect eggs. I’m trying to be positive but I am so heartily fed up with this slow start to spring. I keep on imaging how magnificent it is going to be when things do eventually start up, but it’s still a long way off!
I teach at my home near hexham, and also at alston, I don’t have any classes scheduled, but I could think of something for later in the year? I have done classes at the Hearth at Horsley, but not for quite a while.
Fingers crossed for some gardening weather soon! ❤️😊
The Last Homely House East of the Se
If you do plan anything for later in the year I would be very interested 😀
Hope you’ve managed to be outside today in the beautiful sunshine, what a difference from yesterday, quite unreal haha x
If you lay a long board over the mud to make a path, the going over mud is a lot easier.
Such an intrsting way of making Flying
Geese. But I am a hand quilter thats why this is not familiar to me!
I love that extra large quilt book/ journal❤️ I can’t find one that size, where did you find it?
Round up and trim down.
Cats yes they love to be where you are.... i have a dog audience...5 of them yorkies. And they all want to lay on the quilt as I machine quilt it which is a slight problem with moving the fabric through the machine bahahahah!
FIVE Yorkies! wow!!! xxx
I just have to tell you about my hens too.... even though this is not a chicken channel 😂. I have 8.... Primm, Pluma, Pam, Deb, Dusty, Josephine, Raven, Lacy, and my sweet cockrell Leo! He is just one of the girls you know! And I wear my robe and boots and coat when I visit the coop... just like you😊. Love my hens and my puppies... they keep me sane! Im and RN so need chicken hugs and furrapy on a daily basis🐔🐶
When the pattern says 3 7/8” we round up to 4”.
I only use feet and inches and pounds and ounces hahaha
Kate, cats and quilting go hand in hand🥰
Cat Moms and Dads unite..............they live here, you don't.
I have crocheted a log cabin blanket so I was interested to hear of the log cabin quilt. Could you or one of our American friends explain the origin of the title?
log cabin is a very old and traditional pattern. The centre square represents the hearth and is often red for that reason and the strips around are the logs of the traditional wooden cabins - it s one of my favourite patterns! xxx
When are you publishing this quilt book? I’d love to get your book if you have one already.
Love your quilt instruction book. Where did you buy a book that size. We have a lot of interest in common, especially wool. Did you ever make a quilt from wool scraps?
Hello, Kate, (another fan from Mississippi), I love your videos - have just discovered you within the past few months! Maybe you've already described your "design board/wall", but please say it again, or tell me where to look to find the info. Thanks, Susan in MS, USA🗽
I believe it is just good well-napped flannel (like an old sheet?) tacked onto the wall. The nap will hold pieces of fabric by the friction. Larger pieces may need to be pinned, in which case you might need sheet cork applied to the wall, to hold the pins.
Kate!😣 I guess my 1/4" is off...i was careful to measure n cut but had the worst time putting the blocks together...i needed a good 1/4" seam and keep the points but... Kate I DID keep the points but sewed double seams to make sure it would hold, because I did NOT have a 4th" seam... Kate or Somebody, do I need to cut bigger smaller squares or smaller big square. ? I'm sorry I didn't try a few blocks from start to finish before I did each step assembly line style...
not being a quilter or sewer, did you mark a line down the middle of the geese square first before sewing on the two sky pieces? anyone?
Wish it was louder
Lol! We don’t like the eighths either! There is now a special ruler made by creative grids with markings to make these cuts easier. www.amazon.com/Creative-Grids-Quilting-Template-CGRPRG2/dp/B00Y5RLL52. And a video on using them: ruclips.net/video/fZ1U0T07bGs/видео.html
ok - I'll check it out thank you xxx
Kate what model is your janome?
So really, children should be shown mathematics by being taught how to quilt. Seems to encompass shape, arithmetic, algebra and probably some stuff I can't do. Like SURDS and imperial whatnots
Now imperial whatnotsl had Darth Vader on their side. Down with that sort of thing!
Does Darth quilt in imperial measurements? Interesting quilt questions.
Tree D I think Darth Vader had an embroidery of the Death Star he was working on in his free time.
HOWDY

this is the 'now waste flying geese block' and when you google that you get very many web site suggestions - here is one such - but not the only one - find one that works for you and good luck xxxwww.generations-quilt-patterns.com/no-waste-flying-geese-quilt-blocks.html

💜👵🇺🇲🧵🪡
Is your 3 7/8 piece laid right side against right side?
yes - ... I think .... I'd have to watch the video again to see what you mean ... but if you lay the small squares like I show you onto the large square and mark the diagonal - then 1/4 inch each side..... does that make sense? (always right sides together) xxx
Thank you for your response .... of course I did it backwards -- I’ll start over .... I’ll tag you on my finished project. #newfavouritechannel #canada
