Dutchman's Puzzle Blocks
It is week 6 of the 2026 Stay At Home Round Robin, and Anja of Anja Quilts provided the theme for the final prompt. It is "Quilter's Choice"! She has a beautiful group of blocks, and you can view them right here.
I will make two more star blocks for the corners, and the final layout will be a surprise!
See the geese flying over the barn in this panel? They are the inspiration for my quilter's choice of the Dutchman's Puzzle block, an arrangement of flying geese blocks. As with the other prompts, I made two blocks. One group of geese are on the grass (green on the bottom) and the others are still in the air (blue on top). The next time you see this group of panel and blocks, it will be modeled by the person for whom it is intended - my Quilt Holder!
Be sure to check Gail's' blog on March 25 for the final parade of quilts!
I am adding my post to Anja's linkup.
I’m looking forward to seeing your final layout. I really like your Flying Geese blocks.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI love how clever you are with the flying geese blocks and their color. Love all of your blocks, Linda. I look forward to seeing Mr. Quilt Holder with his new gift.
ReplyDeleteThose are so pretty, Linda! I've always loved the Dutchman's Puzzle block - every time I see them, I want to make a whole quilt of them. These classic blocks are perfect for that classic panel in the center!
ReplyDeleteWell, of course you need to make some flying geese for your quilt! Perfect idea, and the block looks so nice!
ReplyDeleteVery nice blocks! I am excited to see it all come together.
ReplyDeleteYou picked some very fun blocks for the last prompt. I need to get going on mine this weekend and then figure out assembly. It's been such fun to see how everyone handles the prompts this year.
ReplyDeletefour more blocks and something in the middle of the top and bottom borders? It is coming along really well.
ReplyDeleteI do love the Dutchman's Puzzle block!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful interpretation!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThe anticipation is building!!
ReplyDeletePerfect choice and I love how it ties in with the panel so beautifully. I look forward to seeing how it all comes together!
ReplyDeleteCool how you made the blocks differently -- one for the sky and one for the ground -- clever! And I can't wait to see how you put this all together. I'm lucky in that I have a quilt holder, too -- how nice that you are making him a quilt!
ReplyDeleteI know nothing about quilting, but I think I'm in love with those flying geese!
ReplyDeleteThe geese are fabulous! I love the way this is turning out and can't wait to see how you finish it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with SAHRR. Looking forward to seeing your final layout.
ReplyDeleteyou chose a perfect block!!!
ReplyDeleteOooh how pretty , Linda. How clever to create the green blocks flying geese for the ground and the blue for the sky. I just love where this quilt is going. Happy Happy Piecing. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI love your dutchman's puzzle blocks! They will definitely add charm to your project so far. See you at the parade! ♥
