Scrappy flying geese quilt

Work in progress . . . . .

I’ve been busy making blocks for a flying geese quilt.


For me it’s been all about making bright and cheerful blocks!  This is the first layout of blocks that I tried out on my design wall. 


But I’ve since changed the blocks around to this layout.


It seemed effortless to make these blocks and before I knew it all the blocks were made and sewn together.  So this is another completed quilt top!

Update on the yoga girl quilt . . . 

It is pin basted and ready to quilt.


I pin basted it on the carpet as per Faith’s tutorial on Fresh Lemon Quilts.  Here is the link

I’m not that good at basting quilts, but I think this is my best effort ever, thanks to Faith’s tutorial.  Her advice about using a quilting ruler to smooth out the top prior to pinning it has made all the difference.


Happy stitching and enjoy your Christmas and new year break!
