#Goose goose duck quilt by lynn hagmeyer full#

So… you might be wondering, what about wool?!! I hear you! Let’s figure out more option this option! Naturally hypoallergenic, inherently resistant to dust mites, fire resistant, water repellant and eco-friendly, wool quilts will hug your body to help keep you warm through those chilly winter nights or breathe effortlessly to regulate your body temperature through the middle of spring! An Australian wool quilt might feel heavier on your body – but don’t let that fool you – it’s ultra breathable! Choose an 85% white duck down quilt for lavish lightweight warmth. This means that the quilt stays warm whilst remaining light and soft, but a step lower than goose down – perfect if you get a little hot while sleeping or for a donna that will see you through most seasons. Ok – the next option is Duck Down! As Duck down is a natural fibre (plus biodegradable!), it holds superior thermal properties to synthetic fibre alternatives, requiring less filling to stay cosy and warm. In case you didn’t know (because I learnt something new with this!), Goose Down performs the highest in warmth to weight ratio when compared to Duck Down, Wool, Bamboo, Cotton, and other synthetic fibres. Go with an 85% Goose Down Quilt for the ultimate warmth. So why goose?! Apart from how soft, light and plush the goose down feels, it also optimises warmth regulation to help keep us cosy for the whole night! Goose down keeps your temperature consistent with built-in sweat and moisture wicking that keeps you from overheating, while the super lightweight material also lets your body breathe, trapping in just the right amount of welcoming warmth. Where on earth do we start with allll the different quilt options out there? Let me give you some insight to help you make up your mind! But what if you don’t have a great winter quilt – or your previous one has been a little too loved?! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the tutorial.It’s that time of year: swapping our summer doonas for the thicker, cosier winter ones. I can’t wait to see the charity quilts that our lovely hostess make from our blocks. I would like to note that pre-washing the Fabri-Quilt solids is a good idea to reduce shrinkage and bleeding. Here’s a list of everyone posting today.Ī huge thank you to Fabri-Quilt for donating the fat 1/8th bundles to all of us. You must check out all the other participants in the hop and start making 12.5″ blocks! The hop will continue from Aug 31st through Sep 3rd. I love this block for it’s simplicity but if you look close the pink flying geese form an off-balance pinwheel in the middle. The rest of the pieces use minimal amounts of fabric. I used about half of a fat eighth of fabric for each of the background fabrics. I did not include fabric requirements for this block because it’s great for scraps. Repeat steps 9 through 12 to make 4 units. Sew the large goose to the small flying geese unit. Step 11. Sew the rows of small geese and rectangles together.

Duck duck goose popped into my head and I’m terrible at naming things, so I went with it.Ĭut 2″ x 3.5″ rectangles.

It’s full of flying geese, some big, some small.

I’ve decided to call my block Duck Duck Goose. I’m so proud to be a part of this blog hop. They will also use the blocks that we’ve designed to create 3 charity quilts.

That’s right, 62 tutorials for 12.5″ blocks. These awesome ladies have coordinated a blog hop that will provide 62 tutorials for 12.5″ blocks. Today I’m going to share a tutorial for a block I made for the 2015 Fabri-Quilt New Block Blog Hop hosted byYvonne Quilting Jetgirl, Cheryl Meadow Mist Designs, Stephanie Late Night Quilter, and Terri Ann Childlike Fascination.
