I decided rather than buying new cutting rulers, to cut my center block 9 1/2 inches instead. 

The geese here are from HST's.
I had some fun with the free motion quilting!

Pretty yellow lemons on white for the background. 


Another Baby Geese Quilt

 Awwwww geese. Almost feel like I can make them with my eyes closed! 

I bought these fabrics together on one of my Anaheim trips. Fun deciding how to pay them out.

Flying Geese for Baby

 I was asked to make a new baby quilt for a Great Grandchild (We are getting to that age!) for the baby of the church's choir director. She expressly asked for the "same quilt" I made for Dawn including the border fabric... a road map in neutral colors. This is the quilt Virginia fell in love with:

The request was similar colors, not "baby colors" for a boy arriving in December. Okay! 

I used a basic 2“ geese; Cut body 2.5 x 4.5 and wings are 2.5" squares, snowballed on. 

Nice, huh?




I went to Anaheim after searching and not finding any more of the maps in my stash.... no luck finding THAT fabric, but found something similar. And $125 of other necessities. Uh huh. 

I did use some greens and blues juvenile fabrics.... cars and animals (and even a little paw patrol!) mixed with floral and geometries. No strong pinks..... still traditional like that. 

A large variety of neutrals for the geese wings. Very similar sideways setting, the map border.... simple loops quilting and a swoop border. Great bright stripe binding, blue and white back..... DONE!


Quilting loops and swoops

Bright and Grey Monkey Wrench

 After vacations and busy life excuses, I hadn't finished a quilt for a couple months. Seems like the longer it was, the more I procrastinated. I needed to QUILT something! I made this little beauty with a charm pack for the Grey's and tans, some bright 1 1/2" scraps from my BRIGHTS box, and around a yard of white on white Quilters Showcase (JoAnn Fabric own line) which I buy up when it's on sale for $2.99 a yard. 

As I suspected, I had an early quilting flub, causing me to screw up a bobbin and break 2 needles. After disassembling the bobbin area and vacuming it, things went real smooth and I finished this quilt. 

Nice size, 52 X 60

I like to free motion the borders on my JUKI. Don't have to deal with frequent moving on the frame, or leaders to get close to the edges. 

Free Motioned a fleur de lis in each block

I did 4 HSTs with a different colored background, which I then mixed into 2 different blocks. Just can't quite do things all CORRECT, you know?
