A growing Flock of Geese

 I have been working on some Flock of Geese Blocks - while some have been winging their way here!!!

These are the ones I was working on - and I got to this point and thought - I wonder what would happen if I used the Darker ones that are flying in??? would it look Cool.... kind of Luminesce?

What is a quilter to do? Other than Try it and see what it looks like????

So I DID!!

I had a bunch of boys over and this was hanging on my design wall ( Yes -  I have truly taken over the whole house - if you want to eat in the kitchen... you have to see my quilting area.... its just how I roll)

but! the good news is - they all approved and so I felt like it was okay to start rowing it!!!

and look... I had a birthday - ( My 29!! thank you very much) and I told everyone the WHOLE month was about me - so the hubby and I headed out to the Wild Animal Sanctuary and took a selfie!!

If you got sucked in by the drama of the Tiger King in the early pandemic... The Wild Animal Sanctuary was KEY in rescuing a lot of those animals - 78 I believe was the number..... and The WAS did an amazing job!!!!

Alright - back to stitching... I need to Finish something for Finished (or not) Friday!!! See you then!!!

Flock of Geese Blocks... are flying in

 Well that was fun! I went to the Post Office and there were bags ... and I said -What are people sending me? and then I opened the first one and laughed.... I really didn't think that you all would start stitching that fast!!! 

Above the top line - the first 16 - were made by Connie in Loveland

The next 5 Came from Verna in Walden

then the next 21 ( if I did the math right) came From Barbara in Winter Park

and the bottom 6 came from Dianne K in Denver

and then!! another batch from Pat at Bell Creek Quilts!!

This is so fun watching them grow!!

Happy Stitching!!

Flock of Geese ... Progress

 Yesterday I posted about the Flock of Geese pattern... but what I didn't tell you is that on Saturday - when it got really really really really hot, and I was told I could come in from all the chores....

I sat under the fan and cut a BUNCH of strips.... and then cut them into the parts.....

And now... I even have a few blocks complete....

This year the Grass has dried up so fast, but we are starting to get secondary rains - so we are mowing like crazy to see if we can get some moisture in to the ground... so mowing.... is taking a LOT of time!

But our knuckleheads are worth it!!

Flock of Geese

Our Quilts of Valor Colorado group is doing a quarterly block again - and I think its a pretty easy one!

Of course - I am a fan of Half Square Triangles - so you know I would love this one!

Its called Flock Of Geese!!

We are doing it in this colorway ( exactly as shown)

and the block is 8 1/2 inch ( unfinished)

I played around with some settings

and if you see mistakes....

Well - its cuz Its not on the actual design wall!

I kinda like this one point one!

I think it looks aztecky!

And of course - with sashing.

Flock of Geese Block Pattern

I wrote up a Block Pattern for this - 

I did it two ways - the Traditional way using squares

as well as the Easy Angle way using strips 

So no matter what kind of quilter you are.... there is a method haha!

If you would like to make a block or two - we would not be opposed to adding them to our quilts.  (that's a nice way to say - send them in haha)

If you want to make a whole top for your Quilt of Valor group - I would absolutely love that - spread the love and lets get all those Veterans Touched by War Covered with a healing quilt!
