Step Four of Easy Street involved sewing MORE flying geese. Oh what fun! But these geese are a different color. Back to my list and checking it twice, so I don't sew with the wrong fabrics. Had my fabrics cut out just in time to sew the blocks during Bonnie's Quiltcam.
I decided to adjust my sewing a bit so I knew the wings would be enough. By having the edges of the red wings off a bit, their portion of the seam allowance less than 1/4", I knew I would be safe with these geese. I stitched using the yellow as the guide. What resulted were geese with wings a bit too large, but since I always square up my blocks, that was fine with me.
What wonderful red and yellow blocks. I thought I was done with Step Four, until I remembered. These geese need to partner up with the other geese made in Step Two.
So back to the machine I went, and joined the geese. Now they were happily done.
The final icing on the cake was to cut up my navy stash into squares. Glad to finally be cutting into it. Can't wait to see what the setting will be!
what an interesting post and your colours/fabrics are delightful !!!

wow great fabrics ... congrats on keeping up .. I'm falling behind more and mroe every week ..
ReplyDeleteBarely keeping up. And I wonder if this Friday will be the one that slows me down. Bonnie says it will be easy. We will just have to wait and see.
DeleteYellow and reds just make me smile. Love your fabric!!
ReplyDeleteI love your colors! They are gorgeous! Can't wait to see how they will end up.
ReplyDeleteI like your happy colors! I found it worked better to make some of my blocks a shade too big, too. It's more trouble to trim them down but I like my results better.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing how your quilt develops.
Our colors are virtually identical! I can't wait to see the layout too! I think we nailed these color combos! Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteI really like your colors and can't wait to see how they will look further down the Easy Street!
ReplyDeleteLoving the navy squares with your stacked geese.
ReplyDeleteThose flying geese are HOT!!!!!! Love the colour combination!!!!!
