What do 1600 Flying geese look like?

More or less like this:

Our guild has been collecting geese as a block swap for three months, and this month we will distribute to all of the participants. It's a "you take as many as you bring" project. We'll be sorting the geese by pattern type, and the participants have a limited ability to request which geese they get.
The guild has been buying the Benartex Preview Packs, but some members have had a hard time cutting into these charm squares, so this project was designed to give them a motivation to do so.
For the exchange, a person can select either a specific Benartex line, or just any Benartex, or scrappy. If we don't have enough geese to fill the specific requests, the person gets the rest in scrappy geese.
I can't wait - just one more week. I've put in about 150 geese, and I have plans for these little birdies. I've got a scrappy quilt just waiting to have geese as sashing.
