    What is it that Jenny Doan says, "Finished is better than perfect"/ Looks great to me. Besides, geese don't always fly in perfect formation LOL

    Very striking! Looking forward to seeing how you decide to quilt it.

    The geese are a perfect complement to your stars. Good job!

    I love your quilt top. Black and vibrant colors have always been a favorite of mine.

    Love your striking top and your migrating geese. But like Mrs. Fitz, I cannot for the life of me see black on black to quilt. How do you manage? Even side lighting it and turning off the overhead light on my machine, doesn't cut it. Do you have a computerized longarm? Do tell any secrets you have.

    You don't really have to make flying geese for this border. They are all HSTs with setting triangles on each row. Make a row of two HSTs with a setting triangle on each end of the row. Sew the rows together to make the HSTs sit on point. Just be sure that the setting triangles are cut with the straight grain thread on the out side. They would be made from a large square cut from corner to corner both ways.

    In the picture above, each row has two of the same color HST.

    Goosey goosey gander comes to mind with your comment, but you kept them in check nicely.
