Last night, I went down to my sewing room for an hour after supper and made 18 flying geese so I could finish off three more blocks for my Foothills quilt. I am using my husband's shirts for this quilt. He lost some weight and had to replace his shirts with some that fit better. I confiscated the cast-offs and had been saving them to make a quilt.
My first attempt at assembling this block did not work out so well...thank goodness for my trusty seam ripper!
The blocks in the original quilt had interesting placements of contrasting fabrics. I am trying to have fun with this too.
That's four blocks done now...only 21 to go!

Looks like you are off to a great start! Your colours and print sizes are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun block design and your plaid versions are terrific!
ReplyDeleteNice of your husband to donate his shirts to a worthy quilt!
That is such a super fun block! I love the plaids as well.
