Wild Goose Chase is a twelve-inch block, an especial favorite for a little
patchwork pillow or chair seat. Or it makes a mighty attractive quilt set
together with alternating twelve-inch squares of the light blue, really more
effective than with white squares.
Of course other colors than the ones suggested on the pattern may be
substituted - any dark and light with white "geese." It pieces in the manner
shown in the very small sketches, being mostly a problem of sewing tiny blue
triangles on to white ones and joining them properly into strips. A continuing
strip of flying geese makes a most charming quilt border.
Add seams to the unit patterns here given. Five blocks wide by six long will
make a center 60 by 72 inches. Around this sew a 2-inch border of light blue,
then a pieced border of flying geese and a 3-inch border of light blue to
finish. Bind in dark blue.
Material Estimate: For this plan, allow 2 yards white, 3
yards dark blue, and 5 1/2 yards light blue.
A Spiderweb design could be used on the alternate squares, or a larger pattern
like the President's Wreath, as the large light blue triangles of the pieced
blocks join the 12-inch plain blue squares.
