So here is my first block. Does anyone have a name for this block? It is a bit like a Fox and Hound. Normally I would choose my own colours, but the choices made by Linda are so perfect that I have made mine the same. It is a great scrap quilt. Just need to have plenty of double pinks for the FG backgrounds, and poison greens for the corners. Only 24 more blocks to go! Well, maybe I will only make 20 blocks, or even 12 blocks. It took me about 1 1/2 hours to make the block and press it, so I might plan for one or two a week and it will be done in no time.
The last time I took on a big machine project like this was for my Flying Fancy quilt. Every time I made a block, I also made a strip of Flying Geese. It did not seem to be such a big effort that way.
Yes this quilt is on the list to make as well. Love your block.
ReplyDeleteI just got the magazine the other day and am in awe over the quilt
Just like I was for the Blindman fancy they did and was published in QNM a few years ago. I have a few of those blocks done but stopped after I made 7 and wasn't as happy with the colors I chose, I need to make that quilt one of these days I have always loved it
ah those flying geese good point keep making them along with the blocks, I will try and remember that tip
thanks

Like you, I have always loved this quilt! So nice to know there is a pattern for it now. I need to get this mag right away. Can't wait to see all the progress on yours.
ReplyDeleteWendy, you are off to a great start. I think your block is beautiful. I have the magazine and also want to make the quilt. You are very organized and will have the quilt done before you know it.
