Wandering Geese
(Goosey Goosey Gander, Whither Shall I Wander? )
It's a flimsy!
80 x 80
These Sawtooth Stars started out as Flying Geese that I had been making as a Rainbow Scrap Challenge project from 4.5 inch scraps. I've been making them since March 2016. I should also mention that I had a few "rules" for making the Flying Geese from scraps. If the RSC color of the month was a primary color it got points of a secondary color and vice versa.
In September I blogged about making some and had no idea what I would do with the growing pile. Nann (With Strings Attached) and Libby (Life on the Hill) commented that they make nice star points. I hadn't even thought of that. Good idea!!!
Maybe I should call it Wrinkled Geese instead of Wandering Geese. Even after ironing those old scraps stayed wrinkled. (Really...I did iron this. I had to clean off the ironing board to do so since I only had enough room to iron a small block before cleaning. )
I spy scraps from a pirate quilt, a Christmas quilt, a Halloween quilt, a Snowball/Nine Patch quilt, Monster High pillowcases, Halloween pillowcases and Trick or Treat bags, Food Jar quilt, Featherbed quilt, Basket quilt, potholders ...
Now on to find a backing...probably a scrappy one.
And I'm going to figure out what to do with the rest of the 4.5 inch scraps so I can eliminate that tripping hazard box from the tiny sewing room.

ReplyDeleteLove it!! So glad I could help.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea to use the Flying Geese blocks as star points. Well done to your blogging friends for their excellent suggestions and to you for executing the idea so brilliantly. Super happy scrappy starry quilt top.
ReplyDeleteSo bright and cheerful, and totally gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow! Wow wow wow!!!
ReplyDeleteGlorious happy quilt!
This is a fabulous quilt. I love the way it looks like stained glass with the sun behind it. I makes me happy!
ReplyDeleteAnother bright, happy and stellar quilt! And I love your primary/secondary color rule - keeps things from being boring!

ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful colour and a lovely quilt.

Are you sure the iron was plugged in? Lol. Seriously, it's a very colorful and pretty quilt!
ReplyDeleteUsually I've seen those stars with sashings between them. I like the scrappy 4-patch that appears when no sashing is used. It's a very pretty quilt! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteIt's more fun and more colorful without sashing. Great way to use up the flying geese.
ReplyDeleteOh so beautious! I love the colors!!!
ReplyDeleteLove it !!! Do you sew everyday at a certain time? I'm always amazed by your sewing progress and your fabric stash! I need to jump in on the RSC , life tis too short to not have a few rainbow quilts in your life. Thanks for sharing your inspiration. Janita
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw the photo of it hanging on the line I thought of stained glass as well. So pretty - another beauty!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Fantastic! Now I want to make one. Maybe next years RSC...if I ever get this one done. It is so cheerful. Don't you wish you could have a quilt look like it does with the sun shining through. I love scrappy quilts so you can look at all the fabrics you've used through the years?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flimsy! All that rich color...yum!
ReplyDeleteYay! Great flimsy Like you I wouldn't have thought of using the geese for star points but it was a brilliant idea.
