Progress

Hello Everyone,

Just wanted to show you the progress on my Which Way Is North? quilt!

I really love how it is turning out.  Waiting on a few more blocks to arrive, but I am almost there!  Thank you everyone for your fabulous contributions!

Until Next Time...

Geese!!

Here's Mary's block, which was mailed last month but never posted here.

I am SO grateful for Stephanie's heads-up about cutting carefully and Amanda Jean's mini-tutorial on cutting the pieces using a template.  I am quite sure I would have botched it TERRIBLY without your help.  I also realized part way through that it would work better if two sides of each square were extended so Mary could trim it down.  Hope that helped!

Here are Jackie's geese.

Loved having her tutorial.  Certainly am learning more about paper piecing than I ever anticipated!  Can't wait to start those blue Bear Claws!!!

Jackie's geese are done. Now, the tricky part...the mailing! Ha!

Slacking Geese!

Anything you do on Leap Day doesn't count, right? So, the fact that I'm finally posting a photo of Mary's January circle of geese block (which you should have already gotten in the mail by now, I hope!), its lateness is magically erased at midnight?

I wish that were my only fault, but sadly I'm still working on Jackie's block (sorry, it's coming soon!). Also, March is my month, and that's about 10 minutes from now, and I think I will get a post up about it right in time--but the fabric is in the mail, so you might not have it on the first day of the month. I'm slacking, but I'm trying to catch up! Thank you all for your patience!

Blocks for Jackie

I can't believe I already have my blocks for Jackie done and in the mail. I am having such a busy month. I just needed a break and felt like sewing these. Jackie, I took to heart your comment about the "wilder the better." I hope you like them. I didn't have much wild fabric in my stash, so I enjoyed going shopping for you. I really liked adding some of these fabrics into my stash. The only disappointing one in my book is the bottom triangle in the block on the lower left. It was a beautiful Japanese print. But, when I cut it, it just came out as a solid red. Oh well...a place for the eye to rest, right? :-) Hope you like them. They were fun to do. I can't wait to see everyone's all put together. Looking forward to seeing the rest!

Sorry the photo is kind of dark. I am having trouble finding good lighting. I'm rarely home when it is light out, and the sun rarely shines in Michigan in the summer anyway. LOL.
