More blocks, variations on 'palooza block 12, for my
planned 9-block top. This pair features back-to-back corner geese units:
I love the blue-yellow combo in these. The resulting star and large diamond really pop.
And for this last pair I placed the "geese" facing out:
The very dark accent fabric is actually a lovely small-print tonal brown.
I've had so much fun making these, and look forward to putting them all together into a top. I have ambitious visions (still somewhat vague) for sashing and bordering these. I will play with ideas as I finish up some other projects on more urgent timeframes. These blocks are about to go into a "works theoretically still in progress but temporarily on the back burner" bin while I quilt the
monochrome forest, finish up the
OBW borders, and maybe even get this little cutie quilted up:
This is a not-very-large "confetti" wall-hanging I made early last summer to play around with the method and my tiny scraps drawer. I liked it enough to add a border. The border and light blue background both are leftovers from making curtains for our bedroom, so I'm planning to hang it in there. I set it aside at this stage because I did not yet have the extension-table thingie that makes machine quilting so much easier. This morning I sandwiched it up with a backing fabric and got it pinned and ready to go. Best part is it's small enough I was able to do that on the kitchen counter instead of crawling around on the floor. I won't get to this immediately (the monochrome project is a higher priority), but do hope to get it quilted very soon.
