Flying geese are one of quilting's most versatile blocks - and Happy Days puts them to work in the most satisfying way. Row after row of geese create a layout that feels breezy and lively, with a rhythm to the piecing that makes the whole quilt come together faster than you expect.
Pattern Overview
Happy Days is a beginner quilt built entirely from flying geese blocks - a fresh take on the classic Dutchman's Puzzle layout. The movement of the geese gives the finished quilt a cheerful, flowing energy that works beautifully in any palette, from bright scraps to a carefully curated two-color plan. Five sizes mean you can start small with a baby quilt or go all the way to king without ever outgrowing the pattern.
