FREE Silly Goose Stocking Template

Nothing makes my heart happier than Christmas Geese! I’m always looking for was to show off what is possibly my favorite quilt block, the Silly Goose block.

And this holiday season - I’m turning them into stockings! I’ve made a FREE stocking template specifically to show off the Silly Goose quilt block. And I want to share it with you!

The template provides instructions to make three different stockings. The stockings are lined, and finish at 12" x 19", a perfect size for all your gift giving needs! Let me show off each one so you can pick your favorite style.

Option A

By adding fabric to the top and bottom of the Silly Goose block, Option A keeps the Silly Goose patchwork centered in the stocking. This is a great layout for showing off your favorite medium scale holiday print!

I hand quilted this with a clamshell design. I used blue thread to pick up on the hints of blue in the background print. And I used black fabric for the goose so the quilting would be sure to contrast.

Option B

Option B is perfect for bigger scale prints. To make this version, you’ll add a large rectangle to the top of the Silly Goose block. The large piece of fabric gives those big motifs room to shine at the top of the stocking. I wanted the fabric to be the focus of this one, so I kept the quilting simple with some diagonal lines in a matching thread color.

Option C

Option C is perfect for patchwork lovers! Similar to Option B, this version keeps the Silly Goose at the bottom of the stocking, but adds checkerboard piecing to the top. The checkerboard uses the same fabric as the goose body and bandana.

I hand quilted this with a colorful plaid design, using thread colors that match the background family to keep the colors cohesive.
