I've been quilting this puppy off and on all summer.
Wish I'd used brown thread for the back. Oh well.
I got pretty good at this design.
I made the top last summer, all out of thrift store shirt plaids.
Yahoo!
I'm celebrating with a new toy, recommended by Kathy Doughty.
Very fun!

LeeAnn, Your Flying Geese is gorgeous! Love the pictures and I actually think the white thread shows off your beautiful quilting very well.
Great job! I love the arrangement and all the color.
Love love love this quilt, and your quilting is fabulous Nifty! Mmm I must get one of those hexi thingies! xo
Great finish! That is a lot of feather stitching, well done!! And I'm loving the hexie design too. Love how you create your quilts, they have such a free and fun feeling. I tend to ponder my choices much longer - but I'm finally finishing up a quilt that's been too long on the design wall. Thanks for the inspiration!
Just love the plaid geese quilt ... and the white quilting even though you wish it were brown on the back ... and the green hexagon in progress. Gosh, seems like there's nothing you do that I don't love!
Congratulations on a lovely finish! So vibrant and fun, love the playfulness and the colors... and your quilting. Another favorite quilt of mine from you.
Fun to see your big green hexagons tumbling around. Will you be sewing them by machine? I might need to try that, myself. Big hexagons...
; )
Love plaid and love this quilt! It is perfect!
Wow now you are a machine quilter too! Nicely done! Oh boy a new toy..Love hexies, looks like you are well on your way to a new beauty.
Happy Sewing

Bravo! The quilting looks fabulous.
I have loved watching this quilt grow. It is fabulous !!

the quilting finishes it off perfectly!
Great backing on a fun quilt!
I just love the flying geese in those plaids! It's making me want to run to the thrift store and buy plaids and try my hand at putting one together!
This is all awesome! I love the backing you chose. I love the use of thrift store plaids. And the big hexies randomly arranged - just fantastic!
Love this scrappy quilt for so many reasons! Love the mix, love the up cycling, love the movement and happiness!
Congrats on the finish of Flying Plaids - FANTASTIC quilt!!!

OMG, Flying Plaids is fabulous!! How wonderful to have it finished so you can use it and admire all those fun fabrics and gorgeous quilting. I love the photo where it's laid over the couch with the beautiful quilt on the wall and the yo-yo cushion!! Your hexies are brilliant too. There's just so much goodness in this post!!
I remember seeing your video last summer and have been waiting to see this finished. It is a huge success!
It is just perfect; the colour, the movement, the no-border layout!
I think the white thread was a good choice. If you are going to all the trouble of quilting something with so much detail you may as well show it off. How well did it all work out? Bet those shirts are happy that you bought them home.
Congrats - beautiful quilt! and your quilting is wonderful. woohoo, love it!
Your quilt is simply gorgeous! I have been wanting to make a quilt with my husband's old shirts for a while now. Your quilt inspires me to get it.
What a fun post seeing all your quilts.
I am absolutely head over heels in love with this plaid flying geese quilt---now that I'm caught up in envy, I guess I'll just have to make me one now. ;D
Your flying geese quilt is fun and fabulous! (And I like your back stitching showing!)
PLAIDS! GEESE!
SWOONING!
