The assembly is still in limbo for me. I am really struggling with the composition of these half triangle squares. Groups of 9 or groups of 4 .... it's part of the fun I guess not something I should let drag on for too long.

I have a good one in my stash but only 1/2 yard so it still won't do for what I had in mind.

I am enjoying playing with the pieces on my felt wall but I am going to have to get busy if I am going to finish it this month. You realize the pieces add up to less than a yard of fabric alone? <br />Flying geese would be a nice complement to my birds in the air. Wish I could have matched that blue in a solid but I am going to use clean white muslin for my background.<br />Helix quilt pattern looks interesting, very mathematical. I need to buy free motion attachments of my old singer before I can try what you and Aubrie do so well. The charity project for Quilt Con. Looks delightful.

I'll be anxious to hear how far the little packet of fabric goes...I'd been thinking of making a pillow, as I'm pretty sure that there would be plenty for that, but your quilt is making me think a flying geese baby quilt might be nice. I also just found out one of my bridesmaids, who is due with her first child at the end of February, is having a shower on the 10th, so I suddenly have a real deadline to get her baby quilt done. I'm planning to make that helix quilt that Katie made with the interlocking lines of pink and blue (did you ever see that one - http://patternspot.com/patterns/quilt-patterns/1364-helix-quilt-pattern)? But I haven't even bought the fabric! Indeed, the only sewing I've done at all was the charity quilt, because it HAD to be done (and have you seen Aubrie's posts on the quilting...we need to get her to teach us all how to machine quilt like that!)? Anyway, looking forward to seeing you on the 19th! Happy New Year!Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129822128164340288noreply@blogger.com
