Starting NEW

Each year, when I have a niece or nephew graduate from high school I make them a quilt.  This year my niece Allie will be graduating and her quilt is going to need 234 of these flying geese!  I am using an AdornIt line of fabric and Kona cotton stone fabric as the background.  

I really wanted to use the quilt pattern pow wow by cluck cluck sew.  I love this quilt, but when making one in the past I had way to much wasted fabric.  So..... I drew up another plan (notice I still get use of my old stampin up design paper)

In this plan I will be using the quilt in a day flying geese block.

Stay tuned I will get a lot more made this week!

WIP

Lately I've been to busy with my new relief society calling to do anything!  I need to take some time off from running here and there, having dinners, planning activites and do some quilting, my relaxation/fun time.

I saw a quilt online that I loved and decided I had to try!  (I'll link it to the original).  I have done flying geese a little, meaning one of my 4 templates was actually unwrapped from its packaging.  So, it did have me a little nervous.  It turns out that this quilt was so easy to put together, and now I just need to finish the  quilting and binding.   I used the Moda, scruptious line, fabric I've been dying to use since September, when I first saw it.

I absolutely love flying geese and they really are so easy.  They do make one of my favorite quilts.

 My good friend is having a baby any day.  It's been 12 years since she had her last girl, so she needed a girly blanket. 

I'm going to link this to WIP Wednesday from www.freshlypieced.com and Sew Fresh Quilts
