    Pretty Yvonne! I liked your other colors too. You always pick winners Maybe you should make one of each! No pressure! LOL! I'm just still in awe at last year's quilt!

    Newquiltertoni, you can do it! This block is the perfect one to practice on! Grab your fabrics girl! You showed us up on machine quilting...that's HARD! This is just a few little triangles...you've got it made! :D :D :D

    Chele, you are just so sweet! Thank you for the sweet words. I will re-look at those other colors and think on it! :shock:

    Toni, Just take it one little part at a time. You will be surprised how fast your block will go together. When we look at the whole we tend to panic but really, you only piece one part at a time. Just break it down.

    Here's a web site for a quick way to make flying geese that I find to be much easier to follow. Just read the measurements for a 4"X2" flying geese block.

    We're looking forward to seeing your block real soon here.

    Yvonne,
    That block is an eye-catcher! I really like the fabric colors you have chosen. They work so well together!
    The block is really well done, too.

    I knew we could do this one. Not too easy but not so hard after all. :D
