Closed: Submissions for Quick+Easy Quilts Fall ’24
Fall Migration
Flying Geese units are a timeless favorite in the quilting world. They can add movement, depth, and visual interest to any quilt design. Their simple construction typically involves sewing a large triangle and two smaller triangles together to create its distinctive ‘flying’ shape—but a variety of other piecing techniques makes them an ideal design element in patterns for both beginner and experienced quilters. Plus, their versatility allows them to be arranged in multiple ways, such as chevrons, arrows, or cascading lines. Flying Geese bring both a timeless charm and a touch of sophistication to quilt compositions, making them a beloved choice among quilters.
For the Fall issue of Fons & Porter’s Quick + Easy Quilts, we are looking for captivating quilt designs that incorporate Flying Geese to capture the essence of our Fall Migration theme. We will showcase various techniques for making Flying Geese, providing a platform for your unique vision to shine.
We are also looking for your personal story to go with your design. This information often helps us choose designs for the issue, so please add a few sentences about your submission. Submissions need to be unpublished designs, which include social media. This magazine is all about “quick & easy” quilts, so we like to see beginner-friendly quilts and projects and quilts that can be done in a weekend.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be featured in our publication and share your artistry with fellow quilting enthusiasts. Submit your designs today and let your creativity take flight!
