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).

This pattern consists of:

  • Complete instructions for all 100 blocks constructed with mixed techniques: machine piecing AND Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP). 
  • Blocks range in size from 6" to 24".
  • Colouring in sheets for all 100 Blocks
  • Instructions for 2 layout options

PATTERN WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE AS A PDF/DIGITAL DOWNLOAD DUE TO THE MIXED CONSTRUCTION METHODS.

Material Requirements are yet to be finalised, but the expectation is 7 yards for the blocks plus backing and binding. 

Suitable for beginners and experienced patchworkers alike.

Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) is supported with tutorials to help those that are yet to try this method of construction.

Quilt pictured (Layout 1) finishes at 90" x 90".

PLEASE NOTE: There is no version of this pattern that is 100% machine pieced. Some blocks will require foundation paper piecing to help reduce piecing errors and increase assembly accuracy. 

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Q: HOW WILL WE MAKE THE BLOCKS?

A: COMBINED TECHNIQUES - MACHINE PIECING AND FOUNDATION PAPER PIECING (FPP)

In 2025 100 Days 100 Blocks will embrace a new challenge: mixed construction techniques.

We'll be using 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.

Pattern will be available by 30 April 2025.
