It’s that time of year again when we normal, common, quilting citizens sit at home and cry about not attending Quilt Market, (well ok, maybe it isn’t that bad, but I know I’m at least a couple shades of green). Luckily, Amy at Amy’s Creative Side has organized The Bloggers Quilt Festival and it gets bigger and better each time!

My favorite quilt I have made this year would be my Spiral Geese Mini Quilt.
I created this rainbow mini for a Flickr swap and it was a fun challenge all around. I enjoy experimenting with curved geese and I had this image of a spiral in my head. I wasn’t even sure if it would actually work, but it did! You can read about my process for creating a pattern for this mini here.
I quilted it on my Juki and hand embroidered teeny-tiny white geese in the center.
I’m currently working on a pattern for this mini, so check back, if you want to make your own!

Size: 20″x 20″

Love this design. Tried to get into WordPress to see your process, absolutely no luck. The site will not allow me to enter, despite changing passwords several times and re-logging in. Would love to see this in a pattern and will anxiously look forward to how to purchase it!
So lovely! The texture is great!
