I mentioned last month that someone sent me some Flying Geese bodies. I have been using them to make Sawtooth Stars and rows of Flying Geese. This week I worked on the reds and blues. I now have 29 Stars. I think 35 blocks will make a nice sized comfort quilt.
For the centers I pull out 4.5 inch squares I have cut when scrap processing. I have a couple of bins of different sized squares. For the Star points and corners I have been using scraps from the 2.5 inch width scrap bin I have been trying to empty.
The Flying Geese strips will be used in a separate quilt inspired by a vintage quilt.
I have been making four strips of Geese. Sewn into columns that will equal a length of 80 inches for the quilt.
And sew on...

Finished a book! Lady Clementine by Marie Benedict is historical fiction based on the life of Clementine Hozier Churchill after her marriage to Winston. Before I read the book I knew very little about her. I have read several of Marie Benedict's books and I think this is my least favorite. It was slow moving.
It has been hot, humid and raining off and on the last couple of days so it has been too wet to work out in the gardens. I did pot up some perennials yesterday that I started from seed last month under lights that I hope to transplant out in the gardens next month.

We have gotten a little rain, enough to keep the tomatoes and flower pots watered. I hope we can believe them when they say we are going to cool down and have less humidity in a couple days.
Lovely sawtooth stars from the flying geese bodies, Cathy!! Plus those "flocks" of geese will make a lovely quilt--now which direction will they go [NSE or W or every which way? ;)))]
Hugs to stay cool Julierose
Oh I like these!!!
I'm loving the stars and flying geese.
I can relate to your comments about the hot and humid and rainy days we are having in the upper Midwest. Are you affected by the smoke from Canada? In Minnesota we are under an air quality warning for the next four days! Yikes!
Wow! That's a lot of geese. I love how you manage to find prints that match or complete the geese. Great job! Enjoy! ;^)
