No matter how tiny they are now, one day they will grow up and fly away! Inspired by flying geese quilt motifs, this modern geometric blankie is perfect for a new addition or a grown baby flying off to college. Built of DK weight wool, you can also substitute cotton yarns for the warmer southern states.
Simply make each of the 16 squares and then assemble, ending with a beautiful bound edge. The layout of your squares will create the flying V's or the inset squares with mitered corners. Make sure to play with your final blocks to make the most appealing blanket to your senses!
