I'm calling this one the "lodge quilt" because it reminds me of a lodge at some sort of camping area. I've got all the blocks sashed with blocks of mostly solids. Now, I just need to sew them all together and then decide if I want a border or just quilt it and bind it. Decisions, decisions. Each blocks measures about 18.5"
Here's a close up of the last block I did yesterday. So, here's the story, that little flying geese in the border is a funny little thing. I had been
hoarding saving that fabric since I made the owl pillows for Jan because I knew eventually I'd get around to making a hunting themed quilt. I had one block left and had found this tutorial online on how to get 4 flying geese blocks at once without waste. Perfect, I thought! Um, but I didn't really use my noggin. The finished block was supposed to end up 3.5x7 and the square to cut out was 6.25. How I thought I could get 4 seven inch wide rectangles starting with a 6.25 inch block I'll never know! I think I was just too excited. But, I used my precious little bit of this fabric. ugh. So on a whim last yesterday I thought I'd encorporate the damaged goods into a block. I think it adds a little character, yes?
