    Default More blocks

    Hi Everyone, I have finished 22 block so far and will be sewing some more right now. I am including some pics of some of the blocks up close so you can see how pretty some of this fabric is. I made a couple rogue blocks. That means that I am using all florals for an entire block except the HST that will join the background. I tried this just in case I run out of mediums and darks and they look good. If I end up with a bunch of them, I will scatter them through the quilt when I set up. I am really enjoying making this quilt. The first two are the rogues, the other ones show a fussy cut in the middle and then the 22 together.

    Great start for a special quilt. I think the fabric choices are very pretty. I also like the technique you are using for make the flying geese. I don't like cutting off all those corners and saving them-for what? This way you don't have that wasted fabric. Keep up the beautiful work.

    Thanks QP, yes, this is no waste, I just cut the squares and cut in half and PP.
