February is here already and it was time to select the project for this month
My Lisa Bonegan Sew along blocks have been neglected for quite awhile.
I had every intention to keep up but I was a little intimidated by a whole pile of little flying geese that needed to be done for the 3rd instalment.
Well the number was up and out it came.. and surprisingly the piecing was easier than I thought. The instructions by Lisa were so easy to follow and there are pictures to follow as well. My kind of patterns.
this is where the blocks were left at in July last year.
This week the applique one has progressed to this..... some applique pieces all cut out for the corners. They will go on once the next borders are on and that's where I'll finish it. using one of the later patterns to finish it off.
The star pieced one has the next border on and a visit to the fabric shop is in order so that I can get some more red fabric for the geese.
In the corners it has little star blocks. I have these half sewn..
You can officially call me certifiably crazy as those little cream squares are only 1" square!!

Definitively crazy, but you're in good company. They are lovely blocks, especially the applique. Have fun wih the stars.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful progress (love your approach to deciding what you will work on!). And your stars will be fantastic. I adore stars, especially when they come in the size that you are making them.
ReplyDeleteI've fallen in love with Lisa's sewalong all over again :-) I didn't realise you'd started both versions! Sounds like that small sewing will keep you busy but the results will be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work, those blocks are lovely. I'm enjoying seeing you make this list system work!

ReplyDeleteNah, not crazy, I made a heap of those 1" ones for a little quilt. The flying geese borders look great. Well worth your effort. It will be a stunning quilt when finished.
ReplyDeleteDetermined? Optimistic? ;)Gosh I am well and truly intimidated by all those f-g and itty pieces :) Your blocks are looking lovely :)
ReplyDeleteHello Marina,
ReplyDeleteCrazy, why you are saving on thread doing them that small! Did you know that a group of flying geese is called a skein?
Your projects always amaze me. Your dedication on getting something done each month is wonderful.
Happy stitching.
Bev.
Love to see the progress on the projects. The flying geese borders look great on the block.
