Here are some more pics of the quilt I made for my sister. I can't remember if I said I made it for her as a housewarming gift. I did all the creative work (designing and sewing), my other sister contributed to the cost of materials, so it's a joint gift.
Below is the back of the quilt. It's made using some leftover geese, some strips of unbleached cotton and chocolate handkerchief linen, and larger sections of a Lecien dot.
The outer border has been stippled, the geese have been zig-zagged. The binding is a darker brown with creamy strips.
For the front I used some chocolate brown handkerchief linen and a Momo Wonderland print for the geese, very fortunately I found some sheets at Spotlight that were a near perfect colour match to the linen for the outer border. This last photo is a truer representation of the colour - not sure why the other pics have come out really dull??
It roughly measures 160cm by 202cm (or 63" by 79").

Wow, that's fabulous! I like the front as much as the back, it could be reversible!
Gosh! It is gorgeous! Are we related? Can we be? I'll move house for a house warming gift like this!! I love it. :)
Me again! Did you use a pattern to do the geese? I've got a pack of charm squares and thought I'd give this a try!
