I’ve finished the top of one more community quilt made with the free Kaufmann fabric. I’m not sure how many quilt tops have been made with the free fabric at this point. I’ll have to count them before I pass them along.
This is the second Miss Rosie book in my library. I made all 13 from the first book. There are 13 in this book also, but three are repeats from the first book so I intend to make the remaining ten.
The first quilt in the book is Due South. It has 212 flying geese and 11 stars. I did have to adjust the size of the flying geese as I used strips from the Kaufmann stash. The original geese were 3″ x 6″. The new geese are 2″ x 4″ which makes a much smaller quilt.
I would have been much quicker to use the Lazy girl flying geese ruler. It makes four geese at a time. Where I used cut- off strips, I used Kimberly EInmo’s flying geese ruler. It makes one goose at a time.

After I finished the top, I pulled out all the remaining strips and cut them down to 2″.
I’m not sure what I will do with them, but they are ready when a pattern comes to mind. There may be another one in the Miss Rosie book. The remaining Kaufmann fabric is in a mile a minute bin. It seems good to see the end of this fabric.
I’ve been making a lot of tops and decided to put them all on hangers and get them ready for quilting. I can’t believe how many I found around the room. It will take forever to quilt them all. Only one is basted and ready for quilting. Last Friday, as I was coming out of a restaurant, I had a chance visit with one of my long arm quilters. It’s serendipity. I think that I’m supposed to send some to her. She can quilt the larger quilts and I can quilt the smaller ones. I don’t mind quilting by check.
Have a great day and happy quilting.
