Mosaic QAL month 4. Templates available until June 14th
Pattern testers wanted for new pattern. See post here.
Mosaic QAL month 4 is here. You are getting so close to completing this quilt. I cant wait for you to share photos of your completed top .
This month you will be making the inside border. All 24 blocks are identical, the 4 corner blocks are also identical. If you are following a color scheme I suggest you lay the templates on the floor prior to piecing. Mark them with notes to yourself.
For my geese border I chose to alternate the fabrics. For my sashing on these templates I decided to go with a dark blue fabric.
Fabric-geese patches
Cut 24 strips 2″ x 18″.
Geese sky fabric
Continue cutting 2″ strips as needed.
Sashing/rectangle fabric
Cut 24 strips 2″ x 9″
These strips will form the border around the everything we have pieced to this point.
Cut 8 strips 2″ x 5″
These will be used for the corner templates
Joining the blocks from Feb-April
Join your blocks in 3 rows of 3, as shown in the diagram. But do not join the rows together. 
Next join 6 of your geese border templates without the corners. Stitch this strip to the top row. Piecing diagram
Join 6 more geese templates and join to the bottom row.
Now you may join your 3 rows. It just makes handling easier.
Finally, make 2 more strips of 6 flying geese border templates to form the sides. Attach the corners.
Join the sides.
Tip
Find the center of your block strips and flying geese border strips. Use your preferred method to mark the centers. I prefer to use a dab of glue to baste the 2 together but you can use a pin if you prefer. After basting the centers together line up your corners, baste or pin. Line up seams between the pins, use pins or glue baste. Stitch.

Your geese look great!
Thank you
I haven’t tried flying geese and paper piecing, for the sake of accuracy I shall!
Oh you will be so impressed with their appearance. The points of the geese seem to be magnified and the lines look so clean.
Wow! That’s a lot of flying geese but a gorgeous quilt.
Thank you, I love flying geese.
Stunning quilt. Every month it gets better and better! Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
Thank you Jennifer
It’s a very beautiful quilt.
Thank you Lisa
Oh, GOSH that’s a lot of geese! It’s absolutely stunning, in both colorways.
Thank you, I think it could use a few more geese but I don’t know where I would put them. lol
Lots of flying geese in this quilt! But with paper piecing, they will turn out perfectly. Pretty quilt!
Thank you. Yes there definitely are lots, I would have to look it up to say just how many.
