FLYING GOOSE
Flying Goose was the name given to this block in October 1966 in Little ‘n Big, a periodical published by ABC Publications from February, 1964 through March, 1966 (cited in Brackman); however it was labelled the ubiquitous Birds in the Air in The Perfect Patchwork Primer in 1973 (cited in Beyer).
I’ve chosen to call it Flying Goose, since there is a much older block which has claimed Birds in the Air.

BIRDS IN THE AIR
Our block for today was identified as Birds in the Air by Ruth Finley in Old Patchwork Quilts and the Women Who Made Them in 1929. Barbara Brackman found a suite of similar names for this little block, including: Birds of the Air, Flock of Geese, Flying Birds, Flying Geese and White Cloud, while the block repeated was given the name Flock of Swallows.
No matter what it’s called, the aerial connotation is always strong!

NORTH WIND
Today’s Block
This is a slight variation on the traditional North Wind block. The block is a little mysterious. Researchers can only identify it as one published by Nancy Page; but, as the original source was clipped from a newspaper with no other information attached, its date and place of publication are unknown.

FLOWER BASKET
Today’s Block
There have been so many basket blocks published! Jinny Beyer has identified at least 86 of them!
This particular block is one of the originals, Flower Basket, published by the Ladies Art Company in 1898. I love this block and have made a whole king sized quilt in this design … must finish quilting it; it’s one of my oldest UFOs! Who else has made these blocks … and actually finished the quilt?
