ALMOST A FLOCK, et al

 

I have two more rows to get these

all together...

(click to enlarge all pix)

I am having to pin ALL

the intersections as

(hmm-- strangely enough)

not all Geese are exactly 

the same size--

Who knew??

 hahaha

I have begun thinking about 

the top and the bottom

areas....

Here are the starts to my little

Marsh log cabins they are

taking flight over

↡↡↡↡

The batik I had to cut from

left over scraps--

some I had to cobble together

to make a strip long enough...

and the bird fabric has been

in my stash for a long while;

I really cannot recall 

why

I got it--

funny how that happens;

And....

It is perfect for this project ;))

******************************

I am planning on seeing if this

will be the next round

I have been trying out 

each fabric round first

to see if I like how it looks--

My centers are this marshy-grassy fabric

Another long-standing resident

in my stash ↧↧↧↧

Thank you Lizzy 

for your Marsh suggestion ;))

It sparked all this 

whole fabric

pull

(Lizzy blogs at "Gone2thebeach").

****************************

I am using this older  book

for my method.

The first log cabin I ever made

was from this book...

I enjoy her strip method

It involves a lot of cutting

so I am only doing one round 

per day on this pile of log cabins...

***************************

We received 8-10" of the "white stuff"

And it drifted a whole lot 

in the 35-40mph winds...

👀👀😦😦👀👀

I hear my oven beeping ..

So I will run in to turn 

over my homemade

croutons..

(ummm they smell heavenly!!)

See you all later,

FLYING SOUTH FOR THE WINTER...

 

They are meeting up for their 

flight

tonight.

**********************************

I have 11 rows ready to be

trimmed up and sewn together...

I am still debating if I want separator

strips every couple rows...

ALSO:

Is it 

wide enough 

for a lap quilt...

[4.5"x11=49.5"]

{but maybe just borders...}

Hmmmmm

**************************

Now,

for the upper portion 

and 

lower portion of this quilt.

I know they are soaring 

toward

the 

MOON..

And I want some kind of log cabin 

{over the dark ocean}

 or house blocks for the bottom

for them to fly from...

??????

*************************

In the meantime....

I am awaiting a couple light 

low volume prints

in the mail..

and

will be searching for

more in the coming weeks...

NEW SKEINS and GOOD NEWS

 

More Geese

have joined 

the flock....

And some stragglers

came on board, too...

I tried setting some flying

east-west, but

I didn't like the effect...

Looks like they all want to 

fly one direction

so far.

I have quite a few more to make

Three groups are set up for tomorrow...

{Can you hear them honking ?

Cheering their fellow flyers onward.}

I am so low (almost out)

of light colors 

(both prints and solids)

for the centers

of my geese;

so I've sent for a few more 

fabrics today...

They are pastel type solids..

I have only a small pieces of light blue

and an almost- pink.

😞😥😧

How did I get this low?

I do have some WOW's;

but am saving them for another

project next year...

I guess I have to do some more

shopping --

[gosh darnit! ]

:)))

Most of my fabrics 

are darker

colors...

***********************************

I am happy to report that my husband's

Covid Test came back

Negative...

P H E W !!

We're thinking

it must have been a 

bonchial infection.

At any rate, he is feeling 

a lot better

today..

STRAGGLERS, et al

 

THESE ARE THE 

GOOSEY STRAGGLERS

[they will be "fit in" after

I make the last four sets...]

 I seem to have 

made more scraps

 all in the form of 

↡↡↡↡

Little cut off 

TRIANGLES

{I see another project ahead}

AND

A few more have 

joined my flock

I have four more sets to sew

and then I will see how these will

all go together.....

("Flying by the seat of my pants" )

hahaha

******************************

I hope you are all well

staying healthy and safe

😷

FYI:

We are in quarantine here

as my husband (who has

been sick for over a week

with sore chest, congestion

and a hacking cough)

was tested for Covid on Monday...

He doesn't seem to be worsening,

but we are keeping a close watch...
