I've got all my blocks made for the Lincoln quilt! 36 each. I need to focus on the next part of the Liberty quilt. Trying to stay one step ahead of everyone hasn't been easy! By the way, I love what I'm seeing!! You ladies are really meeting the challenge in a great way!!
Speaking of the Liberty quilt. We have quite a few flying geese to make so I thought I'd show you an easy way- with the sizes you need to end up with four (4) 4 1/2"x2 1/2" unfinished flying geese block.
I always get confused at to what part is the "goose". The center is the goose and you'll need a dark
print cut 5 1/4". For the "wings?" you'll need four (4) 2 7/8" light squares.
My fabric isn't a very good representation because they are almost both mediums.
Lay 2 squares on the diagonal of the large square. Draw and center line and sew a scant 1/4" seam on both sides, then cut on the line. Press the geese "wings" away from the dark.
Place the remaining squares as shown. Draw a line on the center and sew on both sides, then trim.
Press and trim to 4 1/2"x 2 1/2"
Easy huh? I'm sure most of you have done this, but sometimes it is nice to have a reminder.
Here's my instagram feed for the week,
It's been a terrific week! It looks like a tiny glimmer of spring in the forecast! I see daffodils coming up in my yard!! Whoop! Whoop!
