Modern Flying Geese Quilt
RIVER RAPIDS is a beginner-friendly modern flying geese quilt pattern inspired by the beauty of flowing water and the classic Dutchman's Puzzle block. With large flying geese (5 by 10 inches) - it will come together quickly to make a stunning statement. RIVER RAPIDS modern flying geese quilt pattern is available in baby and throw sizes.


Picking Fabric Colors


I choose a monochromatic color scheme to mimic water and create a serene vibe to this design. I started by selecting the turquoise background to represent the essence of water - using scraps from my FOUNTAIN SQUARE pattern. I then wanted to use a darker tone to convey depth & mystery and decided to use scraps from my stash. I combined smaller scraps into large 11 inch squares for this modern flying geese quilt pattern.
Dutchman's Puzzle Block


The Dutchman's Puzzle quilt block is a classic, yet versatile design that creates a dynamic sense of movement. The symmetry created by a series of flying geese units arranged in a pinwheel formation makes it the perfect block for this modern flying geese quilt. It's straightforward construction makes if perfect for beginner quilters!
Tips for Success


Starch your fabrics before cutting & sewing.
Use an accurate 1/4 inch seam.
Trim flying geese before assembling blocks.
Press seams open to reduce bulk.
