I've been slacking on my blogging this week. I think probably because I'm not inspired right now. But someone pointed out that blogging creates inspiration/motivation, as much as quilting inspires blogging. So, let's see if this works :)
I have actually been working the past couple of weeks, just not posting. I finished the flying geese quilt, and even completed the binding on it. The quilt is backed with a flannel batik - a lovely discovery I made just a couple of weeks ago when a local shop put some on sale. I love it!
This quilt was inspired by a photo I saw online, which I have unfortunately lost the link to. The assembly was really easy, and it went together quickly once I pulled it off the shelf. For some reason, blogger has decided not to roate this picutre the right way up. The geese are fact flying upwards, not sideways :)
If you look closely at this picture, you can see a couple of geese that I quilted into the background. I put these in about 4 places throughout the quilt.
This was my first finish for April. Although most of the work was done in March, I put the last stitches into the binding in April.
I have been working on my "quilt-as-you-go" redesign of my jelly roll race. 5 quilts came out of the endeavour, and now I just have to sit down with a needle & thread, and do all the hand-stitching on the sashing. Then I can bind them. There are 2 shown here. 3 others are ready to go.
Beautiful quilt. I've not seen flannel batik. I'll definitely keep my eye out for it. Looks beautiful.

ReplyDeleteSorry, couldn't spell! The flying geese and strips are a great combination! I might have to make one, too!
ReplyDeleteOh, Batik flannel? That sounds marvelous! I love your flying geese! They are a favorite of mine. This is such a pretty runner. Congrats on a great finish and thank you for linking up!
