Twilight Flight
Flying Geese
6 inch
I'm still working out in the gardens a lot and helping hubby through his recovery so have not found a lot of time to sew. But I did work on the 2.5 inch width scraps this week and did end up making a few blocks and processing scraps.
I only had a few dark blues for Geese for these blocks but I did have a few other colors of 2.5 inch scraps I had thrown into that project bag while processing scraps so sewed them up too.
Windmills
4 inch
Last week I made the little windmills from 1.5 inch width scraps that were long enough and this week I made them from the 2.5 inch width scraps that were long enough. I have a big bag of them so one of these days I should count them and decide what I'm going to do with them.
I cut up the remaining 2.5 inch blue scraps into:
1. Sets of four 2.5 inch squares - I have two projects that use them.
2. 2.5 x 4.5 rectangles -- into the Parts Dept.
3. 2.5 x 3.5 rectangles - coin quilt layout by value
4. 2.5 inch squares - into the Parts Dept.
5. 1.5 x 2.5 rectangles -- I have two projects that use them
And sew on...
I do love your dark and moody flying geese....very mysterious;)))
ReplyDeleteNice work...Windmills is coming together so well...hugs, Julierose
I love the low contrast in the flying geese blocks.
ReplyDeleteLots of fun blues in your scraps! I'm a fan of those twilight geese, too. Hope hubby has had a good week!
ReplyDeleteYour hubby must have had a better week because you sure did a lot of sewing Plus the gardening this week, Plus cutting all those pieces. Awesome job! Still praying for you both. Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteLove the twilight geese. Can't wait to see the finish. I think you should make this one for yourself and your hubby.
ReplyDeleteUsually "low volume" is made from light fabrics -- how terrific to see low volume in darks!
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely blues in these quilts, and I love the 16 patch in your previous post, it's a while since I made one but I have heaps of 2 and 1/2 strips in boxes, perhaps it's time I made another one.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those flying geese! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo what are you up to with those matching 2.5" squares? (Because obviously I need another quilt idea...)
