I’m not sure if you’ll remember my little dilemma from last time I posted about this project (note the gap at the bottom of my house block), but I’m pleased to say that the problem is solved!
While working on my blocks for the Country Threads 2014 BOM I got a bit too enthusiastic when making the flying geese units for the chevron blocks. The blocks were supposed to measure 10″ x 12″ each but mine ended up 12″ x 12″. I could have easily down-sized them by eliminating one row of flying geese but I had played around with my colour placement and really wanted to have that gold insert running continuously through both blocks. After much deliberation, I decided on sweet little flying geese soaring above my rooftop. Ha! Problem solved and I love them!
I was so pleased with the results that my excitement for this project returned full force and I’ve now completed the entire middle section, with this ‘panel’ measuring in at 33″ high by 60″ wide. (I promise better photos on a less windy day.)
Now back to the sewing room for more piecing progress :o)
