Tomorrow I just have to press and trim my blocks for the Feels Like Fall quilt. I have 30 blocks to make, 15 pumpkins and 15 gosling blocks. I am referring to the gosling blocks. I have the pumpkin blocks all pieced, but I still need to draft and applique a leaf on each of them. I am thinking of doing a raw-edge applique of the leaf.
Here is a picture of my sewing area and the gosling blocks. Each tiny flying geese finishes at 1" x 2". Teeny tiny.
The shiny blue tin is what I've been using to keep the pieces together. Now the blocks are nearly finished.
I delved into a small stash I have of homespuns. I don't like using them because they're so loosely woven and seem to "move" when I sew them. In the pic above, the block closest to the bottom left corner has a piece of the homespun in it...it's the 4th gosling from the left, a gold with dark blue plaid on it.
I also used a few pieces of some shirts I got for 75 cents each yesterday. The block (the right of the two in the front), the very center gosling is a green shirt print. I think those shirts will go far. A 2XL long-sleeved men's shirt has a LOT of fabric in it!!
