Flying Geese Colouring Page

Print this page as many times as you like and use coloured pencils or markers to audition different colour combinations when planning your quilt. Or cut printouts apart and tape the strips together in different combinations to design a new quilt.

In the diagram shown below, there are 5 rows of Flying Geese strips and 6 strips between them. The size of this quilt is dependent upon the size of the Flying Geese units, which is dependent on the size of the templates used to make them. The strips between the rows of geese are half as wide as the Flying Geese units.

To determine the finished quilt size, add up the widths of all the rows (say the Flying Geese were made with Set Q templates; five rows of 5"-wide geese and six 2.5" wide strips) to determine the width of the quilt (40"). Count the Flying Geese units in one row (20) and multiply that number by the length of one Flying Geese unit (2.5") to determine the length of the quilt (50"). Add top and bottom strips (+ 2.5" each = 55". Quilt would be 40" wide by 55" long).

Find Joy in the Rhythm of Making

Life is busy — but your creativity matters.

Imagine spending just 20 minutes each day with calm, colour, and purpose. A quiet moment just for you — sewing machine in action, fabric in place, and a block that reminds you of what you’re building: skill, confidence, and a quilt filled with stories.

That’s what the 100 Days 100 Blocks Challenge is all about. A guided journey toward finishing a full quilt — one block a day — with structure, encouragement, and a joyful community by your side.

THE PATTERN

We'll be using the 99 Problems: 100 Block Sampler pattern - perfect for beginners or those looking for a new challenge.

Q: HOW WILL WE MAKE THE BLOCKS?

A: YOU CAN USE EITHER MACHINE PIECING OR FOUNDATION PAPER PIECING (FPP) - OR BOTH!

You can use EITHER or BOTH machine piecing and Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP).

Machine piecing will use a standard ruler, rotary cutter and sewing machine. Cutting and assembly instructions will be provided in the pattern.

Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) will use copy paper (of FPP paper), fabric, scissors and a sewing machine. Templates will be provided in the pattern, along with beginner instructions for how to FPP.

The block sizes in this pattern range from 6" to 24" which makes them perfect for mixed construction techniques as it helps reduce bias stretch, inaccuracies and seam reduction. It also means that you'll be able to fussy cut your favourite motifs easier.

This means that the pattern will only be available as a PDF/Digital Download and contains both the machine piecing instructions and foundation paper piece templates.

THE FABRIC

We all know that for a pattern to really sing it needs the right fabric.

For those looking for a little guidance with fabric, I've curated 4 bundles to accompany "99 Problems" to make stunning, jaw dropping, versions of this quilt using the fabrics of 4 of my favourite designers; Lizzy House, Tula Pink, William Morris and Kaffe Fassett.
