Use a quick piece method for creating this timeless �ying geese pattern. Jo Morton’s new collection, ‘Carolina’, by Andover Fabrics was used in this example. When using a vertical strip/border print for the plain fabric rows, adjust fabric yardage needed accordingly. Allow printed lines on the fabric to provide seamlines.
