EASY STREET - Week 2
It's Thursday morning of week 2 of this mystery quilt adventure. I'm still on track, but there have been issues...........
Last week's assignment was to make 192 fourpatches - I can make fourpatches with the best of them, and had them all finished by Monday.
They're all pressed, and ready to become part of a real quilt.
Then Bonnie Hunter (www.quiltville.com) released the instructions for week 2 - make 128 flying geese..............FLYING GEESE!?!?
I've been making quilts since 1989. I had some bad experiences early on with triangles. Since Flying Geese have 3 triangles, I have avoided learning how to make them. I guess it's time I figures this out.
So, I've learned how to use two specialty rulers recommended by Bonnie - and started slicing and dicing fabric (purples for the geese with black on white prints for the "wings")
I've got 25 done - only 103 to go!
I'm planning to spend the evening in my studio with a bunch of purple geese - and a glass of wine!

LOL on working on flying geese--I can relate. A glass of wine is the perfect choice for working on clue 2. Love what you have done already.
I too have stayed away from triangles, but I found that Bonnie's way of making my geese fly was really easy! You'll be done in no time! Lookin good!
