A Beautiful Quilt For Large Showy Prints

Afternoon Delight quilt pattern by Ann Lauer

A Quick Quilt With Surprisingly Easy Construction.

This dramatic quilt is delightfully fast and easy and great for beginners. Flying Geese units are fun and fast, with no bias edges, no trimming and no waste!

No-waste flying geese will give you four identical geese of the same size. Super quick since marking and stitching are kept to a minimum. Choose dark and light contrasts to frame a feature print, displays change dramatically with different fabric combinations. Blocks are traditionally pieced so it’s a terrific way if you don’t like paper piecing

If you love select or fussy, cutting this design provides the perfect project. The top can easily be pieced in one afternoon. If you’ve never made no waste flying geese, you’ll find a super easy tutorial here.

For the center choose your favorite prints and/or embroidery designs, and photo transfers also work great. This quilt is totally fabric play, swapping out the four patch for a 9 1/2′ solid block without losing the star. The top is quick to construct and while sewing the first row of blocks, a secondary pattern emerges!
