Playing and pondering...


I have 9 made so far of my Triangle Galore Blocks. My goal at the time was to make a GREEN quilt.... So far so good. But then I start to play and options present themselves. Will I just join them block by block?

Or set them on point?  Will I add another block design in between them? maybe.  I love on point, but, I always do it... time for something new...


 Space and sash them? I rarely do that, But I did play to see the choices...

Something wild? I happen to have some scrap laying here that I stuck in to see how it worked. Of course that gets me all excited! The crazier the better!

Something safe?  bright red sashing?  nah.... not a fan of that... BUT, I can see GREEN flying geese set in the RED! Scrappy geese! Lot's of different green ones, and a few  purple and blue ones just for good measure!

Now I am on to something!  Stay tuned!


Look!
Geese Droppings.

(Couldn't resist)
heh heh ...


I'm off to Minnesota to my wee fishing cabin... I can't wait to have this view!
I'll be hand stitching,  on the dock of the bay!

Have a great LONG weekend!

    Okay, so since I have a small hand (block) in this quilt... hehehe... I thought I would add my two cents. I am such a fan of on point. What about on point with some crazy sashing? That I can get into. Black or red would be my choices. If you did red you would have another Christmas quilt in your hands. But I am sure whatever you decide it will be gorgeous!! Have a great time in MN. I think we are just going to keep criss- crossing the country. When will we both be on the east coast at the same time again???

    These blocks make me feel like I'm in the most brilliant garden -- riots of color. Perhaps you have bees buzzing close by? Happy "fishing."

    Pretty blocks. I like them set together, on point. Sashings would look nice, but I like the design it makes without them.

    Thanks for letting me peek over your shoulder - I love watching your creative process. On point gets my vote, maybe FG around the outside... have fun on the dock :).

    That is going to be a fabulous quilt - love on point with all the different colored geese. We'll have a smorgasbord of weather here in Minnesota for you to enjoy this weekend. Wish you had time to stop by or get together.

    Love the blocks (and the goose dropping joke... ha ha!)! I like the flying geese sashing, but I do love the on-point setting too--it just seems to add a little extra sparkle!

    I love the blocks and the colors: Red & green. So I like your geese and I would also use up the "droppings". I have been known to make little tiny HSTs with those trimmings. I think you are on to something here, but only 9 blocks?

    Why does everything look better on point? The geese are a brilliant alternative! Have a great weekend...

    Hi, Victoria. Great blocks and the flying geese sashing seems perfect to me--They really dance! Enjoyed your photos of Quilt Market. I hadn't run across Luke Haynes work yet, so I'm glad you pointed readers (like me) in his direction.
    best,
