Scrappy flying geese fabric basket


I saw this tutorial for no-waste 4-at-a-time flying geese & I thought hm, 4 at a time must be a quick & easy way to piece those together, you should make some. Raid the scrap bin, cut out a bunch to sew all at once!

Lemme tell ya “quick & easy” is relative, folks.
I am glad I tried it because now I know I’ll never do it again, lol. Very time consuming, fussy, & impossible for a non-precision stitcher to keep consistent. Kudos to all the talented quilters out there, I struggled.

I have 3 more baskets to make & another random strip. I am tired, whew.

I LOVE this little basket!!! I NEED some black and white striped fabric in my life. I know those geese were a pain for you but I agree with others that the pain was worth it for this!

What a great use for the flying geese! I like both of those striped fabrics you used. The outside stripe looks great against those rainbow colors and the inside gives the basket such a nice finished look.
