Der erste Schritt war die richtige Stoffauswahl, dafür habe ich tief in meine DJ-Stöffchensammlung gegriffen.
Das Nähen der zwölf großen Blöcke hat riesigen Spaß gemacht, ebenso die Auswahl der Stoffe für die Flying Geese Zwischenstreifen. Hat ein Stoff mal nicht gereicht – egal – nimm einen ähnlichen dazu, oder einen ganz anderen.
Das Top selber war relativ schnell fertig.
Gequiltet habe ich alles von Hand.
Jetzt fehlt nur noch das Binding und gutes Wetter um ein schönes Foto von meinem „Flying Fancy“ zu machen. Das werde ich dann nachreichen.
Approximately one year ago I got the Australian Patchwork&Quilting Magazin 16/3. Looking first time through the pages, my eyes got caught on a quilt named „Flying Fancy “. It was love at first sight, I like the Flying Geese pattern, antique Quilts and Civil War Reproductionfabrics.
The first step was selecting the best fitting fabrics together, I took a deep gripe into my DJ-fabrics-collection.
I had a lot of fun sewing the twelve large blocks, also selecting the fabrics for the Flying Geese intermediate strips: if there wasn’t enough of one fabric – it doesn’t matter - take something similar to it, or something completely different.
The Top was relatively quick finished. Everything is quilted by hand, now there’s just the binding missing and fine sunny weather to take a good picture of my „Flying Fancy“. I show that later

It is just beautiful, you did a great job with the fabric selection..I am very inspired to finish mine now that I see yours done.
this quilt was published with the pattern in the QNM in the USA a few years ago and I knew I had to make it
I tracked down the booklet with the original antique quilt in it and that is what I have been using for my guidelines.
I really like how you quilted it too
Yes mine will be hand quilted too
great attitude for selecting the fabrics...Kathie
I saw your comment on Kathie's blog and had to come see your Flying Fancy. It is so lovely!! I love your fabric choices. The picture with the top pieced is just beautiful until I see the next picture with the handquilting and I hardly know what to say - its perfect!
How beautiful! you are putting so much lovely quilting in this quilt. I wonder what batting you like to use?
Your little quilts are great too.
ohh my goodness. Your work is beautiful! I love your mini quilts and your Flting Fancy is a stunner. Keep up the good work.
