Thanks for the inspiration! Maybe someday soon those zig-zag geese will fly on over to my house. ;-) I’ve been dying to make something with the zig-zag flying geese for awhile now, but just haven’t found the time.

No curves in her piecing. Go take a look here: http://quiltincorn.blogspot.com/2007/07/cause-i-cant-crochet.html and here: http://quiltincorn.blogspot.com/2007/10/i-hate-housework.html Clarification: when said templates on the DSQ design I was referring to the fact that her zig zag is formed by triangles joined one next to the other. A traditional flying geese block is a rectangle (a single triangle with wings). The zig zag pattern is created when these rectangles are joined together and the wings are the same fabric.

As for the Denyse Schmidt zig zag -- um, she uses templates? I made a variation of the Big Zig quilt and it was just squares cut on the diagonal. I've done it small scale as well -- using 5" blocks as the start point and had no problems doing it that way either. I'm thinking about trying it again even smaller too -- way too much fun!

I wish I had the patience and sewing skill to quilt, but my skills make your wavy gravy look perfectly straight. Ah well. At least now I can come and quilt vicariously through you. I really enjoy the way you outlined your processes too. It's always fascinating to see how an artist works from their inspiration to the final piece. I've got you bookmarked so I'll definitely be back... Happy creating! I just found your website tonight (via wee-wonderfuls) and I love it!
