Circa 2016

I made the first block for this week's installment. I had fun fussy cutting the center;

I love this block and realized after I did the one that it was made of 4 flying geese blocks, actually!

So I thought I'd be clever and eliminate some extra seams by making the flying geese units and assembling the block after. Great idea-- not!!

Problem was that it wasn't easily put together. Oh and I first made a mistake by cutting an extra seam! Ugh

Kind of hard to open up the pieces when they're sewn on  two sides!

So I started again. I am in Oregon so had to use the Quilt in a Day mini ruler set. Helps to read the directions, right??

Anyway, take 2:

I had to do a partial seam to get it together and it ultimately worked but I wouldn't recommend it!

Do you like my truck and cow??  Vbg

This has been my leader/ender project-- 1-1/4" cut squares!

I have a long ways to go but I thought it'd be fun. 

And then I was sewing Bonnie's scrappy trip around the world before my friends left and put it up on the portable design wall. Need to make more blocks before I sew them together, I think. 

Needs some work!! Vbg
