Design Wall Monday Flying Geese Valentine Style

 
 
 
 
This pic is sideways as I could not get blogger to pick it
up as it was rotated in my picture file the right direction.
These Flying Geese finish out to 4X8. I have more to make
to get a good size twin quilt. I lined them up as you can see first
scattered then in rows of like kind.
 I believe rows of like kind is going to be how I decide to sew them.
The scattered geese had my eyes jumping all around.
 
It has been a long time since I have participated in Design Wall
Monday but hope to get back into it again and hold
my own feet to the fire and see some finishes
here in the year of 2014.
 
My husband became very ill around August of
2012 and was very blessed by a Gift Of Life Liver
Transplant  on May 2nd of 2013. That was almost
2 months after we lost our 8 year old grand daughter
in a car accident.  So I have not been doing the
greatest or have been extremely  busy and worn
to a frazzle. So I am trying to get back on
the track of creativity as therapy!!
So what do you all think Scrappy or Organized???
 
Wish that top pic was turned right side up!!!

Stack and Whack Blocks

Well, these block seem to boggle my mind.  I have to
really pay attention to what I am doing.  I love
the Stack and Whack quilts I have seen, and everyone
says they are fun to do!!


I think they are a little bit complicated, but then maybe after
you do a few more they get easier.  I plan to do 8 of these
blocks and make a couch throw for my Mom's apartment.


I love how they remind me of those little kaleidoscopes we had when
we were kids back in the day.  Those were so fun to play with, you
never did know what design you would end up with.  I was always
trying to turn it and get the same one to show up twice.


This is just a beautiful one a lady from my guild made...
Kay W. from Stitch in Time, this thing is a California
King Size....and I am worrying about doing 8 blocks?

Then again I have the energy challenge (CFS) that likes
to dictate when and how much I do.


If you have the patience they sure do make beautiful quilts.
