Christine Kenward brought her gorgeous cozy quilt in for us to long arm for her. I just love those warm country colours! Her piecing was fabulous which as you know can be quite a challenge to do with all the flying geese blocks! This is a planned scrappy look but I am thinking you could pull it off in total scrappy, just pay attention to the values of the fabrics.
Leslie Ford quilted using the digital pattern Bosa Nova and Glide thread Warm Grey 6 for a great finish!
Thank you to Christine for inspiring us all!

Can you just imagine the joy to be had trying to cut, stitch and press this one to be straight and square? Ergo the jaw dropping comment by myself.
