This quilt was a quiltalong with American Patchwork and Quilting Magazine that began in February 2020. They named it "Get Together" but since it began during the beginning of the Covid pandemic and shelter in place orders, I decided to name mine "Don't Get Together!" I had to use whatever I had in my stash since quilt stores were all ordered closed. Therefore, I had to vary the pattern to accommodate my fabrics. I pieced the top in March 2020 except for the outer border. When quilt shops finally were able to reopen, I purchased the outer border and the backing. I completed the quilt by machine quilting it on my domestic machine. The field is quilted with an orange peel motif. I used a stencil for the blue sashing border (wave design), and free motioned quilted the flying geese in my own design. The outer border is a free motion feather design done without stencils. The quilt will be used when my grandchildren visit. It is a twin size quilt.
