Quilt Project...

No cards to post today. So I'm posting two blocks to a quilt I have in progress. I started this probably a year or more ago and when I was moving everything from my old sewing room to my new sewing room I came across this. I've been so wrapped up in making cards that I kinda forgot about this quilt completely. Over the winter I am hoping to get to work on this again.

Thank you for visiting today,

Quilt Update

So this quilt I'm making is going to be a queen size which the pattern calls for 90 of the flying geese. I chose 6 colors to be alternated in each column. So now my son says he doesn't like the look of them being alternated. He asks "Can't you make each column 1 color?". Well of course I can, but it calls for 5 columns of 18 geese. I've only made 16 of each of the six colors. So I think I will either just make the columns shorter and the borders larger or use the 6th color as the last two geese per column...Putting 1 at the top and 1 at the bottom.

So for now I finished the 2 blue columns (well the sixteen geese...lol) on Monday. Tuesday I finished the two red columns, the tan column and the green column. Now I can layout all the columns and see if I would like the green column or the tan. I guess I can always make the quilt to have six columns... Oh what to do? what to do?

My son can be a ham when he wants to be. He just wouldn't get out of the way so I could take the picture of the red columns. I hate that green head band he wears. Well anyway...The reds in the picture look like they are the same but one is more of a brick red and looks like wood siding, the other doesn't. Guess I should have taken a close-up but too late now. Plus I'm not sure about the green column. I don't remember why I used two different greens. I will have to look in my stash and see if I have more of either one and change it.

Thanks for stopping by,

My quilting project for my son

I made this agreement with my son a while back that I would make him a quilt and that I had to have it done by September 22, one month before his birthday. I had decided on the Flying Geese design. So I started it months and months ago. Then put it way because I just wanted to do something else (make cards...ha ha). Now I only about a month left. Finishing the top will be easy but the quilting is what will the pain in the butt. Needless to say I will be working away at it the next few weeks. I will post pictures of my progress. Below are all my Flying Geese that I have to sew into strips. I saw these fabrics into Joann's and just love them. They are all from the same collection.

I might even get started this week piecing all the geese together. You will have to wait and see.

Thanks for looking,

This a baby quilt I made for a co-workers new grand child. Sorry the picture isn't the greatest.
