This book features 29 different paper piecing projects so when you finish this project you will have the skill to do many other projects . This pattern uses the geese foundation blocks. Some of the geese are going in a straight line, some are going in circles and some are out of control. This quilt creates a calm and elegant look despite all of the geese in a frenzy. The General techniques include sewing fabric to a foundation paper which allow for perfect point and cutting and stacking techniques incorporate efficiency. This pattern will give you confidence, understanding and a love for paper piecing.
