Now that fall is in the air (in the mornings, anyway), the urge to finish the quilts I have going is especially acute. Swept up in two quilt-alongs as I am, chain-piecing has been the order of the day. I've got nine Modern Maples blocks done with three more in progress. (I do them in threes because I need the instant gratification of seeing finished blocks.)
But what's more gratifying is that I've got border #4 (flying geese) of the Marcelle Medallion done.
I think this border has cured my desire to make a flying geese quilt (at least for now). All those bias seams! I really like how this quilt is shaping up. I'm aiming for a rich and saturated scrappy look. I like that the low-volume prints in the center and alternating borders keep it from looking too busy (I think).
The bricks for border #5 are all cut and ready for piecing. I'm going to put the bricks in a bag and *try* to sew them as I pull them out rather than laying them out beforehand.
Linking up to the MMQAL over at penny poppleton.
That's so pretty! And this quilt hasn't made me ever want to make flying geese again either, but yours look great from here!
ReplyDeleteI've been geesing tonight for a bee block - 24 of the little buggers have nearly done for me, so there's no way I'd ever get this quilt done lol
