Over the holidays I decided to use some lighthouse fabric to make a gift for a friend. I wanted the quilt to be something more than just lighthouse pictures joined by sashing, so I thought I'd add some geese -- a stand-in for the seagulls commonly found around lighthouse, but I've never seen a 'flying seagull' block. I played with a couple of ways of putting flying geese blocks around the pictures -- wasn't quite right. Then I found the 'Goose on the Loose' block in an old book. I mixed these blocks with the pictures, quilted in the clouds, and used a mottled blue on the back for the water and ended up with the complete package shown here. My friend loved it.
So have you finished your Double Delight quilt yet?
