This is just a quick update on my ModaBLockheads progress. I have completed blocks 30, 31 and 32. I have more blocks than that in total however, because there have been some alternate blocks put out and I have made some of them as well. The most recent block patterns have seemed kind of simple to me, but I understand the designers are getting ready for Quilt Market, so it is reasonable that their focus is more on that. In the entirety of the quilt top, amongst more complex blocks and the appliqué blocks, I think these will be just fine. They can't all be Wild Goose Chase blocks made with 3/4 inch triangles, right?
Speaking of Wild Goose Chase blocks, here is a quilt that is on my TBM (To Be Made) list:
I found this picture on Pinterest and someone named Dawna is cited as the maker. There apparently was a Flickr site where the quilt was featured. (Does anyone do Flickr anymore)? I wish I could give a more precise link to a website or blog, but I just can't find the information, other than the quilt was made in 2007 and used over 30 fabrics. If anyone can provide a more informative link, it would be much appreciated.
Anyway, it is just my kind of quilt. Lots of flying geese units and beautiful autumnal colors. It is so bright and joyful. Give me russet, gold, burgundy, dark brown and some sage green and we will be friends forever. I really want this quilt in my life.
It is the exact same block as Miss Rosie's Into the Wind pattern, but with a simpler layout. My Into the Wind blocks are still waiting for me to add the remaining setting squares. I folded it up while I waited for the extra fabric I needed to arrive, and it still isn't finished. Poor thing, it looks like a quilt monster has taken a few bites out of it.
Dawna's Wild Goose Chase quilt is also rather similar to one of my all time favorite quilts, Shiloh, which I made in 2012 or so from a Bonnie Blue pattern of the same name. Something about flying geese just makes me think of fall. My goodness, I love that quilt. I need to get it out right this minute!

Morning. I thought for sure that I had this pattern on my list to do (big surprise there??) but I don’t. I wondered if it was Kennesaw Mountain by Red Crinoline or Wild Goose Chase by Jo Morton, but nope. Similar tho. Sorry!

Shiloh is one of my favorite quilts of yours too. I love the Wild Goose Chase quilts…the one you’re planning and the one you have almost finished. You have excellent taste in fabrics and patterns!

I love each one of these quilts! This is a design that I have had on my bucket list for a long time, but have never made it. Have been thinking mine will probably end up mini sized.
Really love your Shiloh!!

Your Shiloh quilt is gorgeous. Love all of these possibilities. I love making quilts with triangles. There’s just something about them that tickles my fancy. Enjoy!

I bet if you really looked at it long enough you could make it without a pattern…just make a couple of sample blocks from the Shiloh quilt. It looks like the center of the flying geese alternate from dark in the center and then light in the center. The rest is basically the same block.

I love the pinterest quilt and think you could easily ake it with the blocks from Carrie’s pattern (although it has four instead of three flying geese).

The colors in your Into the Wind quilt are so soft & the pops of red really add to the overall look! I have no idea about Dawna’s quilt, but I’ll bet you could figure it out if nothing turns up an actual pattern.

Love the Pinterest quilt too and think you need to make it. Did they give any other details like finished size or block size? If so, I’m sure you could figure it out on your own, then let us know 😂
