Oh my goodness, do I love my latest finished project. Whit, a Little Bites pattern, by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. You can click on the link and order this as a pdf pattern and have it instantly! This is what I have needed all those flying geese units for. I made the pattern larger, to better fit my rectangular dining table, so I made 20 blocks (instead of 16), each requiring 8 flying geese units. 160 total geese. This is a mini quilt, without a doubt, but how lovely would it be if you made it full size. These blocks measure 4 1/2 inches finished, but you could totally make the blocks twice as large for a bigger bed sized quilt. I love it. The block is an old fashioned one called "Dutchman's Puzzle".
The fabric I used was two charm packs of Vintage Happy by Riley Blake. So happy with this one!

It turned out lovely. Makes my fingers itch to sew some geese.
Applause, applause!!! What a charming quilt this Dutchman’s Puzzle quilt is! Well done!!
I’ve have a quilt planned for using this block ever since seeing two similar quilts made for a guest bedroom by a dear friend in TX. Her twin bed quilts were done in autumn colors but this brighter happy mini version is a winner! Love the polka-dot cornerstones!
How many times did you rearrange the geese before sewing them together?
Hugs!
That is adorable. I understand what you were talking about when you said a lot of geese! great job!

Darling! Those are tiny geese but so happy! Congrats 🙂
I love it too! Which white fabric did you go with? I have several precuts of Vintage Happy – just waiting on the right project. I got some Bella Solid pink, thinking I would make X-Rated last month – but it didn’t work out for time.
This project really is too cute! The black makes the quilt pop.
What a ADORABLE quilt ! It really came out Cute 😀
it’s beautiful! ;p
Love how it turned out! Perfect flying geese 🙂
Don’t you just love choosing a pattern & ordering the PDF? Talk about instant gratification!! The geese are perfect & your ‘Whit’ is beautiful! Bravo!
It’s lovely!! Carrie has a Scnibbles pattern that is all flying geese also–a slightly different arrangement. The name of it escapes me right now. I made it for one of my grandsons and it is one of my favorites.
I love this Nicole. The colors are perfect for summer and yes, I do see how this could be a bed-size quilt. It would be lovely!
Very cute! Such cheerful fabrics. It will look great on your table during the summer.
Beautiful quilt, Nicole!

I just love this! And you’re right, it would be a gorgeous bed-sized quilt! I just love all those Little Bites patterns … I have two and want to order more!
LOVE!!!!!! Dang cute!!!!!! You are making my TO- DO list longer!!!!
Isn’t this just the cutest little quilt ever? Okay, maybe not EVER… but it’s somewhere on the list. 🙂
And that Vintage Happy fabric – also wonderful. Cute and pretty on the bolt or in a pre-cut… but so much better cut up and made into something.
I know I’m way behind with blogs so I’m catching up everywhere – I love the Figgy goodness going on. If you don’t “love” those pears when you’re done, I’m sure you can find a nice home for that quilt… in maybe Arizona. Just saying… And those Dresdens… Patisserie? Uhmm… you really did start those a long, long time ago. LOL
And Ryan’s quilt is gorgeous. I need to send mine off for quilting! I keep forgetting to do that and it’s time to have it done. 🙂
