Of course I didn't read the instructions all the way through and made my first test block only to be stopped in my tracks by my dear friend Lori's asking about the theme I should've followed!!
Here's the non-themed block:
Note it wasn't the right size so it needed a little help on the sides! Good thing it didn't have a theme. It'll go on the back probably!
First month was turkey red:
Second one was Prussian blue:
Next was shirting prints:
The last one I've done is cheddar/orange:
There are probably 1 million different ways to do flying geese. My favorite is following the instructions by Open Gate. It's easy and accurate. Monique Dillard has a ruler and instructions that are easy to follow.
I think it is called "fit to be geese."
As of now I am only behind by four blocks so I'm going to be sewing more sawtooth stars any day. First I am off to go pick up my car which went in for an oil change and wound up needing four new tires!
I keep seeing everyone playing with the sew along........I am so tempted! Welcome to the new tires club! I just got some on my truck last month! $$$$$$$$$ that could have been spent on quilty things in my opinion! LOL
ReplyDeleteLove the stars. Nice to know I'm not alone. My oil change last week cost $813 because my mechanic said I needed new tires!!! Ouch!!!
ReplyDeleteI love everyone's stars, but I am refusing to cave (we'll see if that lasts). Especially like your shirting block.
ReplyDeleteBravo Randy and welcome in this wonderful challenge of stars ! I also make one star per color and I'm impatient to discover the fabric of the day !
ReplyDeleteGood luck for the tires.....Uuuuh....very expensive !!!

They look great! Your first block could also go in your orphan block quilt:)
ReplyDeleteI caved, but I'm really enjoying the fabric/color lessons more than anything. Plus its a great way to work with colors that might not be your 'go to' choices.
ReplyDeleteI personally love how well you follow directions...
ReplyDeleteI've been making lots of stars, but not for this group or size. Mine finish at 4". I love your prussian blue fabric. I've never heard of that method of making FG. I use the no waste method and like it a lot.
ReplyDeletehmmmm, imagine that, you not reading all the directions. Love the stars
