Description - Patchwork Essentials: Flying Geese by Lee Monroe
Flying Geese are a quilt-making staple! At once both a simple block yet one that yields complex results, this workhorse is the star of the show in Lee Monroe's first book. A series of 9 patterns are based in tradition with a modern twist. Patchwork Essentials: Flying Geese is organized into three main sections: Techniques for making Flying Geese, 8 Quilt Patterns and, finally culminating with a chapter on 40 Flying Geese Blocks and a Sample Quilt to feature them. This final chapter features small projects to make from the half-square triangle units that remain after trimming the Flying Geese for each project, from pillow to a quilt back.
