more 3D piecing - Migrating Flamingos

After the success of the 3D bow ties it has been great to start off another 3D piecing project - flying geese. This is my favourite traditional patchwork pattern. I love it that the stacked triangles also turn up in Persian carpets as "travelling birds" and symbolise good news.

However I have not loved it enough to sew all those bias seams. The 3D pattern is so easy & I love the texture that the folds provide.

I had a stash of funny pinks, and also loads of "sky"fabrics... so the flamingos are about to migrate... watch this space
