this is probably my favorite block combo of all the geese in "grellow garden geese." there's a very old, from my earliest days of quilting, print - the background "hope valley" print. the geese are actually hummingbirds in this set; that deep chartruese RSS print is impossible to find now. it's such a perfect color and cute print i'd love to have more, but alas, i'll have to move on.
these are the full-size or larger of the two size blocks i mysteriously ended up with. they all behaved very well. somehow my smaller size blocks did not work out mathematically as i expected when trimming and joining them up. no real surprise there, i suppose. but they all went together well enough and look where we are:
this one if off the floor and set aside with the others waiting to be sandwiched and basted. i have three tops now so i might be having a basting party very soon. or i might wait a little longer to get wensleydale ready too. we'll see where the mood takes me and if the opportunity arises. i did realize that because i have the very wide roll of batting that generally allows me to put two quilts side-by-side across it, that it makes more sense to baste even numbers of quilts at once. so maybe i'll wait. i have a few ideas who else could be done soon, if the stars align. (hint: on the floor and a new sewalong start coming.)
