I did it!! I finally made a choice for my Rainbow Scrap Challenge for 2023!!
Last year I had decided to make as many quilts as possible out of a color.... and that was fun! But!!
This year I already have 5 commissioned quilts to finish by the end of February ( you know... start to finish!!) and I just don't see whole RSC quilts happening for these two months...
So!! I designed a Block!!!
Churn Dashes are my absolute all time favorite block - but!!! I find myself drawn to flying geese.... and spinning stars and so!!!
That's where I went.... and Ta da!!
it does not go together as fast as my stepper and quick quilts of 2022.... and..
I had to think of which way to keep the geese to make sure they flew around the star.
Can't have one goose flying the wrong way you know... they have to stay in formation!!!
But with 12 of these - I may have a nice sized quilt... right?
Block size: 17 x 17 inches

I love this block! Are your geese 2x4" finished?
ReplyDeleteI love this block!
ReplyDeleteI like the looks of this block! Especially the plaid!
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely a cool block. I'm looking forward to how it looks in other colors. I assume you are making just one block each month? Get sewing on those commissions!
ReplyDeleteI love how this block looks with the combination of star and geese. Great idea! The blue plaid background is such fun too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun design and block. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteWe must be quilt sisters!! Those are my fav blocks too. Love your block. I am doing an RSC this year, just need to get my blues out, but first I need to buy my background fabric!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great combo of elements--and all your favorites in one block! Absolutely perfect!!!
ReplyDeleteI like that block. Good choice to not overbook yourself.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great block!
ReplyDeleteLove that bold , background plaid.
ReplyDeleteA very festive block!

A very fun block! I'm impressed with how well that plaid seems to match up in the background. Those will make a really fun RSC project.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great block! I bet that plaid made it harder to design but it all works together so well.
ReplyDeletepretty block and yes it will be a gorgeous quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove the blues, love the block. It will make a nice throw size. You're going to need a break in between each of those 5 projects! I may try my hand at one of those blocks - maybe in R/W/B!
ReplyDeletePretty blue block Alycia. Love the design and the blues.
ReplyDeleteOooh, that's gonna make a great quilt design, Alycia.
ReplyDeleteThat's some challenge you set for yourself with the plaid background fabric. I'm impressed you were able to keep the plaid lines on the diagonal. Should be a stunning quilt.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great block! It will be pretty in every color!
ReplyDeleteYay! Good choice for your RSC block! Can't go wrong with HSTs and Flying Geese!
ReplyDeleteWow go big or go home! 🤣 With 17"blocks you'll have a finished quilt in no time! Luv your block!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun block! I love the combination of traditional patterns. Always so many ways to keep the classics fresh.
