I loved the pattern when I first saw it and immediately made this block.
I tucked it into the magazine and forgot about it for several years.
It took awhile to get back to the project -- most of the work has been done over the last two years.
The quilt measures 84" x 101". It wasn't easy trying to figure out how to get a picture of it in my teeny tiny hosue.
The challenge for me for August was to complete the quilt top. I'm not sure when I'll get this one quilted,but I hope it doesn't take me another 12 years.
At some point while I was making the squares, I decided to save the little triangles that were trimmed from the flying geese units. I had fun playing with them -
I think I'll get something small assembled from these squares a little sooner than the large quilt will be done. Each little triangle square is about 1-1/4".
Now I have to work backwards. Tomorrow I'll put my feet up and try to finish quilting and binding my July challenge quilt.

Beautiful job! I love the colors and you did an excellent job piecing.
ReplyDeleteI'm usually a bright person, but I really like the colors in this quilt. It's beautiful and the block really looks different up close versus as a part of the whole.
ReplyDeleteHad to come take a closer look at this one, saw it in your year end composite and loved it, even better with the closer look. If you do get it quilted (-: and don't have a giftee (?) designated for it, I'd be interested in knowing how much you'd sell it for...
