That's great, and I love the way you've made the 'flying geese' type edging - it looks like little flags fluttreing in the breeze.

What a wonderful quilt!!!!!  0_0 And I love the way, how you solved the problem with "the flying geese around the corners". I always wondered, how to do that in a better way, and yours is really fantastic!!  0_0

Thanks, everyone!  It was a fun and surprisingly quick quilt to make.  It's all foundation paper pieced. 

I love how quilts just become something.  From nothing.  And they have personalities.  And you don't know them before they become what they are.  And then there they are!  Amazing!

Ha.  I know.  I'm a little out there.

Not at all !!! They really do have personalities of their own. ... like the ironing board cover that became a wall hanging,   From Ironing board cover to an Eternity of Quilting

Im currently working on what started out as March's BOM and its grown all on its own and is becoming something really rather  special!

and when you are working on them , their names just arrive ...

You're both barmy  :D :D Sorry to be the bearer of sane bad tidings but..... Quilts have neither names nor personalities  :P They are not your pets  :devil: but are in fact...made up  of inanimate bits of cloth  :devil:
I doubt the piece I'm working on currently has even missed me  :D :D :D
