Remember the joy of running circles in the backyard? Duck Duck Goose brings that childhood delight to your quilting table! This playful pattern takes its name from the beloved childhood game — and just like the game, the Flying Geese blocks seem to chase each other around the quilt in a lively, spiraling dance. The magic? Every single line is straight. What appears to be circular movement is achieved entirely through clever block placement, making this a perfect project for beginners and seasoned quilters alike who are looking for a satisfying, quick finish.
About the Pattern
Duck Duck Goose began as the free Quiltworx Quilt Box Q4 2025 Stashbuster Pattern and is now available as a stand-alone pattern for everyone. At just 24″ x 24″, it’s an ideal size for a stunning wall hanging, a charming table topper, or a bold accent piece for any room. The cover quilt showcases the newest fabrics from the Timeless Treasures ColorStock collection, designed by Judy and Judel Niemeyer, and the rich mix of jewel tones, earthy neutrals, and crisp lights brings the playful motion of the blocks to life beautifully.
Getting Started Is Easy
New to paper piecing? No worries! A Quick Start Video Short is available on the Quiltworx YouTube channel that walks you through the basics of fabric selection, cutting, and paper piecing — everything you need to dive in with confidence. This pattern is beginner-friendly not just in technique, but in scope: it comes together quickly and the results are nothing short of showstopping.
