I love the combination of a star quilt pattern and a flying geese quilt pattern in one.  I went through a few design iterations but none of them was anything special that I could hold on to.  Then this idea came to me and it stuck.

This is the first time I didn’t draw straight on the quilt-top for quilting.  I got some tracing paper, pinned it on the quilt, and drew the lines on it using a ruler.  The process worked like a charm and the tracing paper tore off very easily.

 

I am going to make another one.  It will have a dark background and Northcott Stonehenge fabric.

 

If you would like to make one for yourself, I have the Geese Around The Sun wall hanging pattern available in my shop.  It’s not a beginner pattern, but if you have done paper piecing before, you can easily make it.  I would also suggest trimming the whole piece only after you finish quilting it.

California has been home to us for the last 13 years and I fall in love with her more with every passing day.  I had to make something that represents spring in California.  Wildflower season here is brilliant but brief. My first idea was to make a California Poppy.

 

Then I remembered how we have to be ever so careful while driving when we go to the Sierra Mountains in Spring because of the little bear cubs.  They suddenly dash out in front of the car from the mountainside and run across the road toward the river.  Sometimes you can see them sitting on the mountainside like big teddy bears.  So cute!  Of course you don’t approach them, but it is wonderful to see them in their habitat.  I had to make a little bear cub!

 

This 12″ little bear cub quilt pattern is now available in my shop.

 

You can also make a brown bear from this pattern.  I hope you enjoy making this block as much as I did!
