Have you ever wanted to make a group of two color Flying Geese that are all the same, with one color small triangle on the left and a different color on the right? Some designs call for it, and quilters have asked us if there’s a way to do that with the Fast Flying Geese method. And our answer is, “You betcha!” It’s only a little trickier than the original method because you have to be sure you have your colors placed correctly, but once you’ve done that, you’ll have those four matching, slightly oversized Flying Geese ready to trim in no time!

As quilters, we seem to find inspiration for quilt patterns all around us. As early as 1845, quilts called “Seven Sisters” have been part of quilting history. Seven Sisters designs are made up of a grouping of seven stars in a roughly circular arrangement with one star in the center. The name Pleiades comes from a group of stars named for those seven sisters - the daughters of Pleione in Greek mythology. We hope that you will enjoy making our more modern rendition of this 175 year old pattern.

From the designer, my daughter, Haley: Growing up in Vermont, my favorite sign of spring was snowdrop flowers popping out from under the snow. I always found the dichotomy between their delicate looks and their hearty resistance to the bitter cold of the Northeastern winters particularly striking.
