Why is STARTING a new quilt so much more appealing to me than applying that time to a UFO or WIP??
I have started 3 new projects this WEEK so far! Someone stop me!!
I added a few more blocks to my Geese on a String. There are 24 in each row in the pattern. Here is a little over half of a row (13) for starters. In the picture, on the right side, there are two groups of 3 with orange side triangles that are sewn together (I have not trimmed down the sides yet, so that is why they look off). They are at the very bottom of the row.
I with I had gotten more muted blue and orange. Here is the rug I am aiming to match or at least complement.
One of my husband’s coworkers asked me to make a baby quilt for her to gift to another coworker. The 9-patches are just laid on the background fabric. This is what she chose.
Denim blue squares on a light gray background.
The answer to my own question just came to me. As I’m cutting up shirts, I use the largest chunks for the HST quilt I am making for the living room (the room with THE rug). Then I cut the leftovers into strips of varying widths for these blocks.
The Geese blocks use up shorter strips. Then what is left can be cut into 1-inch squares for the 4-patches that go in the Geese quilt. Question answered!!
