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...

Nice work...Windmills is coming together so well...hugs, Julierose
I love the low contrast in the flying geese blocks.
You are very organized with your cutting, it must make it so much easier when you are ready to sit and sew.
Lots of fun blues in your scraps! I'm a fan of those twilight geese, too. Hope hubby has had a good week!
Your 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! ;^)
Love the twilight geese. Can't wait to see the finish. I think you should make this one for yourself and your hubby.
Usually "low volume" is made from light fabrics -- how terrific to see low volume in darks!
Lots 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.
I LOVE those flying geese! Gorgeous!
So what are you up to with those matching 2.5" squares? (Because obviously I need another quilt idea...)
