The flying geese in this block are made using simple, three-dimensional prairie points made of folded fabric and inserted into a seam. There are no tricky points to make or match!
The pattern on this pillow includes simple paper-piecing techniques and easy pre-cut instructions for minimum fabric waste.
This pattern includes instructions for a 17″x17″ pillow (from a 15″x15″ block). You can also use the block for other things like table runners or wall hangings.
